AIX 3 Speaking to Non AIX lpd.

[Scott Holt]

We have a number of printers around our campus accessible via
lpd. The host systems run anything from Sun OS to VM/CMS. A number of
these printers are known by queue names which are greater than 7
characters long. When trying to define these printers to AIX, this
apparently causes a problem. Other than renaming the queues on the
remote machines (out of the question), is there any way around this.

Should I just give up and port lpd.

Thanks,
Scott
