Canon LPR2 Features
Canon LPR2 is a utility that facilitates printing over a TCP/IP network. Built into the
1
print architecture of Windows, it realizes network printing by communicating with a
Windows print application on a print server using the LPR, RAW, or IPP print
protocol.
Canon LPR2 enhances the function of the Canon LPR Port Utility 1.31 to monitor
printers and print jobs.
Canon LPR2 has the following features:
■ Multiport Support
Canon LPR2 supports the following print protocols:
• LPR
• IPP
• RAW
■ Print Monitor (Viewer)
The Print Monitor allows you to check the status of printers registered with Canon LPR2,
and monitor the progress of print jobs.
NOTE
•
Canon LPR2 uses the TCP/IP protocol for communications between the computer and
printers. Also, Canon LPR2 uses print applications that support LPR/IPP/RAW. Other
types of network protocols or print applications are not supported.
