I don't know how you would do it with the prf command, but it is very
easy to do with the lpr command.  If you could get prf to call lpr, that
would work out perfect.  In fact, if you get that to work, I would be
interested in a copy of the software to do it.

Has anyone gotten lpr to work to a port directly?  In my printcap I am
trying to specify something like lp=/dev/sio2, but I get failed to get
exclusive access.

This problem has been fixed for sr9.5.  A fixed version is available from 
customer services for sites that need to continue running sr9.2.3.

I believe there was a bug here that is fixed in sr9.5.
