-
- Are you familiar with LPRMON? It lets you print to a printer queue
- as if you have a real printer defined and then snatches files from
- the print queue and sends them with lpr to the real printer. I
- use it routinely with no problems.
-
- LPRMON is available with IBM's TCP/IP; I don't know if other
- implementations support it or not.
-
- Hope this helps,
- Nick
