MLPD

Mochasoft W32 LPD

Mochasoft's W32 LPD program allows your Windows pc's to act as a LPD for Unix printing. This means that you can print Unix print jobs directly to the local printer connected to the PC. We have purchased a site license so this is a licensed product for the whole district. The information below will describe the installation process.

Installation

Before installing this product, you will need to assign a static ip address to the workstation. Ask the District Service Center for the ip address. Once you have a static ip address assignment, figure out if this is to replace an existing Colleague printer or if it's a new one. If it is to replace an existing printer, use the same Colleague printer name. If it is a new printer, use the following naming convention: xx-abc1234 where xx is your campus letters and abc1234 is the login id of the user of that workstation. Use -p such as xx-abc1234-p, to designate that it is a portrait printer. No -p means it is landscape. The MLPD software is located on your N:\MLPD directory. Just run MLPD.EXE to begin the install process.

Run N:\MLPD\MLPD.EXE and click n the Setup button.

Click Next to continue and click Yes to accept the license agreement.

Keep the defaults and click the Install button.

Click OK to complete the initial setup.

Click the accept button.

Type in the printer name discussed above.

Click on New Queue and choose Unix Print print type.

Associate the list of possible printers to the proper printer. (This list is the list of configured windows printers)

Portrait is the default orientation. Choose Landscape as necessary.

You will need to create a separate printer for each orientation.

Choose the appropriate font type and size.

Recommended font type and sizes are:

	Portrait - Courier New 15 (There is no selection for 15 point size. You will have to manually type in the point size.)
	Landscape - Courier New 12

Click OK to finish.

Choose "Start as an icon in the tray".

Now Choose Settings - License.

Type in DCCCD for "This Product is Licensed to"

Type in B64420 for "License Key"

Minimize the program and now it is ready.

You will now need to notify John Cassidy by email the ip address and the printer name for the printing to start working.

Email Todd Dewberry with any questions about this install process.
