Is there any public domain software out there that lets you run lpd (the unix line printer daemon) on a ethernet-connected PC? Thanks, -Henry Bland Foothills Hospital Calgary, Canada

I'm also interested in a lpd implementation under MS/DOS. Anyone? Rene van den Assem assem@fel.tno.nl TNO Physics and Electronics Lab, P.O. Box 96864 2509 JG The Hague The Netherlands +31 70 3264221

We have an LPD for PCs. It requires a dedicated PC, and can support multiple printers, up to the capacity of the PC. It can also write to the same physical printer as different virtual printers with different configurations. Keyboard commands provide debugging, statistics and control.

A beta test version of a freeware LPD for MSDOS can be found in the
ftp-archive at tacky.cs.olemiss.edu in directory pub/lpd.
It uses some version of Clarkson or NCSA libraries and workes quite well
in some first tests here. Besides the LPD part there is also a FTP
and a BOOTP server included, which we also find very useful.
And not unimportant: full source available.

There is an lpd available from tacky@olemiss.edu. We are using version
1.0 and it works OK.

I know this has been posted before, but I can't remember where. I'm looking for lpd that will run on a PC. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Mike
