- I've just uploaded a full port (Sans varian printer/ploter filters.)
- of the BSD lpr package to sunsite.unc.edu. It includes everything you
- need to do local or remote printing spooling (or both.) I think
- someone else has already done this, but I was unable to find it.
-
- I also made some additions to the printcap database to deal with
- the termios/sgtty differences. If you have a serial printer be sure
- to read the README file. (Be sure to read it anyway.)
-
- This isn't as fancy as the SysV print spoolers, but it is a lot
- easier to configure.
