Stevens, in his book "Network Programming", gives an lpr client as one
of his examples. You can FTP the code from the book from:

	uunet.uu.net: pub/netprog.tar.Z

Or, I could mail you a hack I did.  I started with LPR.C from PC/IP and
now I have lpr, lpq and lprm for SysV (tested on Convergent Tech. and
SGI), but there is almost no LPR.C code left :-)
