lpr

[Travis Bissett]

I'm using Racal/Interlan tcp/ip hard/software (NP621-386) with my Xenix 
2.3.2 system. Most everything worls toelrably well. But I'm surprised to 
note what seems to be a serious omission. No support for a remote printer (a 
la printcap under BSD). Now, I have the tcp/ip software for the same board 
to run under MS-DOS and Interlan DOES supply an lpr command that permits 
queing to a remote print server. Why not under Xenix? 

FYI, I plan to take this up with my Interlan dealer as well, but I took it 
to the 'net because I'm more optimistic of getting some sort of real result 
this way. Maybe it's better to buy direct from Interlan than from a dealer  
-- then you can at least wait on hold trying to get phone support!

Any contribution to my knowledge base would be appreciated.
