I am sending this to the net since there seem to be some other people having the same problems. re: LPR -- the only LPR implementation I have found to work with binary files is the one written by David Johnson from the University of Mississippi. It is available from tacky.cs.olemiss.edu. This program seems to have some minor problems, but works fine with the "-l" option as well as for regular text files. Thanks to Edward Vielmetti for this info. re: 3C523 Packet Driver -- It seems that they messed up the driver in the later revisions. Try using the version 5.1.0 driver, available in the file pktd5_0.arc on sun.soe.clarkson.edu. Thanks to Russ Nelson for this solution. -- Dave Rubin Polytechnic University

Were you only looking at public domain lprs? The lpr in our PC/TCP works with binary files if used with the "-v" option. Frances Kirk Selkirk info@ftp.com (617) 246-0900 FTP Software, Inc. 26 Princess Street, Wakefield, MA 01880
