- >> Hi.

- >> I'm aware of lpr clients that allow network-connected PCs to print to

- >>
- >> However, I'd like to be able to print to remote printers transparently

- >> more effectively.

- >> I should mention that I'm not a DOS user but Unix hacker.

- >> Any information would be greatly appreciated. I'll post a summary.
