Hello net... I have an enviroment of 3 Sun 4/110's 4 VAX/VMS boxes and 1 AT&T 6386wgs running AT&T SYS V 3.2. The SYS V box uses AT&T enhanced TCP/IP WIN/386. This tcp implementation lacks lpr/lpd. 8-( Has any one ported lpr/lpd to this enviroment??? *PLEASE say yes* The other machines have lpr/lpd functionality and my SYS V box is the odd man out. Any help in locating a port of lpr/lpd would be greatly appreciated!!! Note: I know that I can just play with lp and have it do an rcp to another host and then an rsh print of the file on the other host. I just want lpr/lpd. ================================================== Martin Moore (704) 262-6274 ================================================== Academic Computing Services |\ /| ___ ___ . ___ ___ | |\ /| Appalachian State University | \ / | / \ / \ |/ /___\ | | \ / | moorejm@appstate.bitnet | \/ || || || | | | | \/ | moorejm@conrad.appstate.edu | | \___/ \___/ | \___/ \___/ | | moorejm@stat.appstate.edu ================================================== moorejm@alf.appstate.ed ================================================== jmm@godzilla.appstate.edu

I am also interested as are a few people I know. The trick I've been
using here is to pre-process (troff, etc.) on the local machine and
pipe the printer ready output to the spooler on the remote machine.
'jetroff -t -ms -d- | /usr/ucb/rsh ncc lp -oraw' works fine for me.
Mainly I haven't felt like setting up a fake spool entry to do the rsh
either.
