The answer is "LPD Service"

Explanation:

LPD stands for a Line Printer Daemon System service that is used for Long-time administrators and which depends on the development by Microsoft with the same LPD Guidelines and as a way to support Windows Print Server processing applications and programs.

It is a network printing protocol used to submit print jobs to a remote printer. It is also known as Line Printer Remote protocol. It was originally introduced on BSD UNIX in the Berkeley printer, and this protocol is supported by the LPRng project. LPRng project is used to provides printer spooling and network print servers.
