Just a suggesting to allow printing of Unix files on you pc. Not very
good but it works.
First get a copy of one of the NFS implementations for a pc.
(Sun, Siemens, Beame or FTP)
get it talking to you host computer. Then persuade your system administrator
to export the directory that lpr dumps the spooled files to (/usr/spool etc)
Find out which one is the file you want to print
(try using rsh hostname lpr -q or whatever your spooler needs)
Use the dos commant print file1 file2..... file2 to print the files.
Not nice. Not automatic but it works (just)
