"Direct access" will treat the network printing box like a remote printer. You can
get better logging from LPRng this way. You might even get accurate printer status
and accounting back from the printer (although not guaranteed). Printcaps should
access the printer something like this:
:filter=ifhp
:ifhp=<ifhp_options>
:lp=<printer>%<port_number>
LPD access uses an internal LPD server on the network printing box. A control and
data file(s) are transmitted to the remote LPD server. What happens from there is out
of LPRng's control. Depending on what sort of user interface the vendor provided, it
may be out of your control, too. Printcaps should access the printer like this:
:rm=<remote_printer_hostname>
:rp=<remote_printer_box_queuename>
