I have been sent a copy of a pseudo lpr/lpq for the IRIS that will allow a user to spool files to a BSD-based machine. Now it doesn't promise the functionality of a true lpd, it does offer lpr and lpq, which is really all that is needed anyway. OK...lprm would be nice, but I didn't port it... I will send this to any interested parties in shar form (a Makefile and lpr.c) if you send me a good email address. If the volume is high, I will put it somewhere ftp'able. Since this is customer-provided, the std HOTLINE disclaimer goes with it: ie, unsupported.

It sounds interesting, but I am not sure what it will buy me. We have a 3130 and I have been using lp to spool files to a BSD-based machine, without too much problem. I only problem I usually have is if the other machine is down and I try to send a file to it. That printer spooler is automatically shut down and I have to reset it when the other machine comes up. But I would think I would have to do that anyways. So, like I said what does a pseudo lpr/lpq do? -- Brent L.
