      I have an enviroment of 3 Sun 4/110's 4 VAX/VMS boxes and 1 AT&T 
   6386wgs running AT&T SYS V 3.2.  The SYS V box uses AT&T enhanced TCP/IP
   WIN/386.  This tcp implementation lacks lpr/lpd. 8-(  Has any one ported
   lpr/lpd to this enviroment??? *PLEASE say yes*  The other machines 
   have lpr/lpd functionality and my SYS V box is the odd man out.  Any help
   in locating a port of lpr/lpd would be greatly appreciated!!!

      Note:  I know that I can just play with lp and have it do an rcp to
   another host and then an rsh print of the file on the other host.  I 
   just want lpr/lpd.


I am also interested as are a few people I know.  The trick I've been
using here is to pre-process (troff, etc.) on the local machine and 
pipe the printer ready output to the spooler on the remote machine.
'jetroff -t -ms -d- | /usr/ucb/rsh ncc lp -oraw' works fine for me.
Mainly I haven't felt like setting up a fake spool entry to do the rsh
either.
