Does anyone know of an implementation of LPD for a PC?

The nice people at ftp Software, Inc. are completing a beta test of
a lpd. I participated in the beta test and was very pleased with
the results. Although it was a beta test, the documentation was very
good and I was able to install and run the program with no difficulty.
One minor problem might be that they do not have a generic version
of the program available. You must run it under one of the proprietary
ftp kernels. I ran it with the 3c523 kernel, I can NOT use the
Clarkson packet driver. I imagine that ftp Software will support
a generic version in due course. The beta test is being managed
by Mr. Bruce Campbell (617) 246-0900. I don't know what his internet
address is (you might try jbvb@ftp.vax.com).

I have no connection to ftp Software other than as a satisfied customer.
