Hi, I have been hacking on Linux for just a few days, trying to get my
work ported to my PC.

Here are 2 newbie questions, to be answered by the knowing in email or
on the group, by preference.

1) I have a post script printer. I have the /dev/lp1 working. I would like
   to have "lpr textfile" make post script out of a straight text file and
   dump it to my printer. This is like the "enscript" program we have on our
   UNIX boxes. What program do I need to do this?

2) I compiled tons of C code and some C++ code from work, by using g++.
   Everything works fine except C++ program which use cout for standard output
   cannot find "cout" or operator<<(various types)" and so they don't link.
   Do I need to link a special library for this? I thought this stuff should be
   in libc.a?

I am presently using an SLS distribution Linux which thinks it's 0.96
without any patches other than newer xfree86.

Please help,
