- LPR is a Berkeley LPD client for the NT console.
- It requires TCP/IP services, including properly set-up domain-name
- services (if you specify hosts by name rather than IP address).
- This is based on a port of the lpr client in W. Richard Steven's
- book _UNIX Network Programming_, ported to use WinSock and to use
- NT registry to store default host and printer names
-
- --jon [Jon S. Whalen]
-
- Known shortcomings:
- 1. No name globbing. I.e. wild cards on the command-line don't work
- (since the NT console-shell doesn't perform globbing for you)
