HP/UX has a network print spooling capability using a set of programs such as rlpdaemon, rlpcancel, etc. Are these programs proprietary to HP, or are they based on publicly available code? If the latter, where can a copy be obtained?

If the latter, where can a copy be obtained? The programs are not proprietary (at least not beyond the normal copyrights and such :-), at least they do exist on Sun and Silicon Graphics. We have printer queues set up between our HPs, Suns, and SGs. With the Suns, however, you have to tell your HP that you are sending to a BSD system, since they use a different numbering scheme than SYSV. Using Suns' PC/NFS (supported on HP-UX) PCs using DOS can print into this network. We even got some source code that purports to accept print jobs to a VAX/VMS system (shudder) but haven't had time to install it yet. Hope this helps... ********************************************************************* Tony Burzio * Oh what a tangled web we weave...
