- A number of the DOS TCP/IP vendors offer LPD servers of varying

- while printing, allows you to define multiple virtual printers with
- different initializations on a single physical printer, etc. (the
- same spooler is bundled into our OS/2 product). There is also a
- freeware LPD, which I think can be found on tacky.cs.olemiss.edu.
