- Having seen quite an amount of requests for an LPD interface posted to
- the Net lately, I announce the posting to alt.sources today. From the
- README:
-
-
- This SLPD 1.0 PL02
- ==================
-
- SLPD is an lpd daemon designed for SYSV. It translates requests initiated
- from LPR clients to the System V LP-spooler equivalent (if possible).
- Having seen that so many in the USENET community are looking for something
- like this, and having the need ourselves, we decided to try an implementation.
-
- SLPD only supports a limited amount of requests from an LPR client at the
- moment. I am very willing to increase the functionality of SLPD if I get
- appropriate requests from you. The following are implemented so far:
-
- Client (BSD-LPR) Server (SysV-LP)
- lpr filename -> lp -s -c filename
- lpr -P<printer> filename -> lp -d<printer> -s -c filename
- lpr -l filename -> lp -s -c filename
- lpr -p filename -> pr -h filename | lp ....
- lpr -p -T title filename -> pr -h title filename | lp ...
-
- LPRM and LPQ are not supported, because I have not quite yet figured out
- what the protocol is. Help anyone ?
-
- Please send comments and requests for additions to me. My name is
- Jan-Piet Mens, and my Email address is jpm@Logix.DE
