- We have software that will transparently capture printer output on a PC
- and re-route it to printers/print queues attached to unix hosts. You could
- set up, for example, LPT2 to be redirected to a laser printer, LPT3 to be
- redirected to a line printer, and leave LPT1 as the locally attached PC printer
- if you wished. Its commercial, so for further information please contact
