I recently made an lprclient available for Xenix on unix.oakland.edu
(141.210.180.2) in the directory /pub/xenix/lprclient.  It is accessed
through the lp schedular.  (Oh, that is available through anonymous ftp).

The program is the lpr example in Steven's Unix Networking book, as
modified by Cayman for use with Gatorboxes and printers, as modified by
me to run under Xenix.  Binaries are ava{lable there too for those without
development systems.  Ron.
