- I am trying to discover if I can start up a lpd daemon to
- print to the same printer that already is being used by lp. The reason is
- that we have lp set up so that NFS can allow us to print remotely to the
- printer through lp from another Iris. However, no PC shareware supports
- lp for printing from a PC to a unix box; only lpr. Thus, I would like to
- have both lp and lpr directed at the same printing but not crashing on me
- if they fight over it. Is this possible or not?
