Queue defaults

Lists defined LPD print queues and their properties. A default queue is provided to process requests to unrecognized queues. If you delete the <Default> LPD queue, LPD will reject all requests to queues that are not listed on the LPD tab. A message will appear in the Operator Console stating the name of the requested queue and that the connection was refused. You can create a new default queue by adding a new queue named <Default> and assigning properties. See the Recreating the <Default> LPD queue topic for a list of the default properties.

Trace controls

Lists controls for capturing a trace of LPD data to be used for diagnostic purposes.

File name

Specifies the name of the trace file. The default name is LPDTrace.txt. The file will be saved in the \\Program Files\Common Files\Barr\Trace folder.

Start/Stop button

Starts and stops the trace. After you start the trace, the button label changes to Stop. The trace continues to record until you click Stop. Leaving the trace running can greatly degrade performance. The trace is intended as a diagnostic tool only and must not be used in production settings. If you close the BARR/PRINT TCP/IP Configuration utility while the trace is running, a message will ask you if you want to stop the trace.
