Install EQXLPD

The EQXLPD tool is available from the Equitrac Installer, under the Auxiliary Applications sub-folder. It is not selected in the Installer by default. Click on EQXLPD, and select This feature is installed on local hard drive.

When installed, the tool is located under Program Files\Kofax\Equitrac\Tools\EQXLPD. There are two files in this folder:

  • eqxlpd.cfg – specifies the actions that are applied when EQXLPD.exe is run
  • EQXLPD.exe – maps or modifies User IDs for incoming LPR print jobs

The EQXLPD service is not started automatically after installing Equitrac. You must run the EQXLPD.exe within the command-line utility to add it to the Administrative Tools > Services application, and then configure the service to start automatically. See Starting the EQXLPD Service. However, before starting the service, you must first modify the configuration file. See Modifying the Configuration File.

CAUTION:
Only one service can “listen” on the printer at a time. If the Microsoft LPD service is running, the EQXLPD service is blocked. To determine if a service is running on the printer port, open the command line utility and type telnet localhost 515. If the result is “connection refused”, no other service is running, and you can proceed with EQXLPD. If a connection is made, another service is already running, and you must stop it before proceeding.
