- You don't say whose TCP/IP software you are running, if any. If you're not,
- your first step will be to purchase one (there is no free TCP/IP implementation
- for VMS). Most, if not all, of the commercial TCP/IP products support lpr
- which you can use to print to your lpd printer.

- If you need info on commercial vendors, feel free to ask (no, we don't sell
- any!).
