- Last time I looked at this, although you could use + in your hosts.equiv,
- the hosts.lpd file you just had to list every host separately for printing
- to work. Just can't be done I am afraid ;-(
-
- There was a public domain lpr somewhere around for A/UX 1.1 which may do what you
- want, but I have no idea where it is any more. Sorry.
