[comp.dcom.lans] LANSpool equivalent for 3Com 3+Share--anyone know of a product?

LANSpool, and similar packages are great, since they get around Novell's 
server-based printer restrictions.  

But they're only great on Novell networks, of course.  Anyone heard of
similar software for 3Com 3+Share networks? 

HELP!

I recently saw a demo of a product called "Print+" that is just what
you're asking for.  Users link to workstation-attached printers using
3P commands just like they link to server-attached printers.  Takes
something like 2K (!) of memory in the client, 30K in the Print+
"server", but participating stations also have to be running full
NetBios.  More info from:
