[comp.unix.questions] new destinations for lpr?

figueira@prandtl.nas.nasa.gov (Ellen B. Figueira) (01/22/89)

Hi,
	Does anyone out there have experience in using the ``lpr'' program
to send information to a device other than a printer?  I understand that
there may be a way to convey data effectively to, say, a monitor, using
``lpr'', not drastically affecting the printcap file.  I believe it involves
some extra programming, but am not sure where.
	Please respond directly to me, ``figueira@prandtl.nas.nasa.gov''.
	Thanks very much!
