The next release of SLS will have lpr setup. But the released
lpr doesn't work with the libc.4.2 (because of the stupid
net code being moved). So if you are using it the daemon
won't run.
I got it working, but it is a little finicky.
Also, I want to collect together printcap entries. But want
to be able to send out init codes, bold codes etc just like
termcap. Does printcap support this (docs don't say). If
not, I would like to extend it to do so.
Looks like I will have to look at the source for lpr.
Peter.
