- I have ported the Berkeley lpd/lpr suite to SCO and it is available
- for anonymous ftp on dribble.c-mols.siu.edu in the sco-ports
- directory. Both source and binaries are there. I use these
- programs every day and they work quite well. I modified the
- source to allow either direct access to the print device or
- passing the job to SCO's lp spooler for actual printing.
-
- Help yourself!
