[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] Printer sharing over ethernet

nickh@URSA.CALVIN.EDU ("Nicholas J. Hengeveld IV") (07/24/90)

Does anyone out there know of any software that allows print sharing
over ethernet?  We don't need file service as these machines will be
attached to a Novell network next year - they (4 PCs) will need to
share a printer, and it's OK if one of the PCs has to be left on all
the time.

Thanks in advance,

We have an LPD which runs on a dedicated PC, and accepts lpr requests
across the network. It will support multiple printers. You will need
lpr on the PCs, and if you are switching to Novell, should make sure 
that whatever lpr you have will be compatible with the Novell software.
