Hi Folks,
I have just gotten my printer fixed. It works when I redirect
text to /dev/lp0. I can not find a printer spooling program (lp, lpr,
whathaveyou). I have looked in some of the obvious places. Is there a
linux port of this software? Or should we be using the generic version?
In either case, could someone point me in the right direction? I find it
very hard to believe that something to fill this need is not out there,
somewhere. If it is not available, I will write it, or port it, or
whatever, and post it. (Back in college I whipped up this printer
sharing shell-script in a fit of necessity. I bet I could re-create
that as a first pass... :-)
I looked in tsx-11.mit.edu, banjo.concert.net, prep.ai.mit.edu, and a
little bit in sc.tamu.edu, but I might have missed something.
