Is there an RFC which deals with the LPR/LPD protocol? I am specifically looking for the command structure passed between systems. The aim of this is to convert a System V spooler/despooler that I have to be compatible with the Berkeley environment. -- Karl Denninger (karl@ddsw1.MCS.COM, <well-connected>!ddsw1!karl) Public Access Data Line: [+1 708 808-7300], Voice: [+1 708 808-7200] Anon. arch.

Richard Stevens (Prentice Hall, 1990) has a chapter covering this protocol. Includes source code for the client side of the protocol. By the way -- I found this book to have one of the best descriptions of the UNIX inter-process communication and BSD sockets. (Also covers TLI, but I'm not qualified to comment on that chapter.) Highly recommended. --Pete Poorman poorman@convex.com
