Turning Off a PC With a Shared Printer

When you turn off your PC, the LPD Print Server stops. When you turn the PC on again, the LPD Print Server automatically prints any files that are in the spool directory.

Users who sent documents to the shared PC printer may have to wait until you turn on the PC to get their printed documents. Alternatively, users can print their documents on another available printer, and cancel their print requests on the shared PC printer.

As a convenience to all users who access the shared printer, consider keeping the PC turned on at all times.
