Does anyone know if there is a program for MSDOS that can sit around on an ethernet and look for LPD print jobs and then throw them out on one of its serial or centronics parellel ports? We are looking to offload handling the band-printer(s) we have from our UNIX system and have them served in this way. I know there are several terminal servers that will do this, but we don't have the $$$ right now to go out and buy one just for this purpose, but we have quite a number of old PC's just sitting around that could be used for this purpose.
