- Hi Folks,
- I have just gotten my printer fixed. It works when I redirect
- text to /dev/lp0. I can not find a printer spooling program (lp, lpr,
- whathaveyou). I have looked in some of the obvious places. Is there a
- linux port of this software? Or should we be using the generic version?
- In either case, could someone point me in the right direction? I find it
- very hard to believe that something to fill this need is not out there,
- somewhere. If it is not available, I will write it, or port it, or
- whatever, and post it. (Back in college I whipped up this printer
- sharing shell-script in a fit of necessity. I bet I could re-create
- that as a first pass... :-)
-
- I looked in tsx-11.mit.edu, banjo.concert.net, prep.ai.mit.edu, and a
- little bit in sc.tamu.edu, but I might have missed something.
