- The next release of SLS will have lpr setup. But the released
- lpr doesn't work with the libc.4.2 (because of the stupid
- net code being moved). So if you are using it the daemon
- won't run.
-
- I got it working, but it is a little finicky.
-
- Also, I want to collect together printcap entries. But want
- to be able to send out init codes, bold codes etc just like
- termcap. Does printcap support this (docs don't say). If
- not, I would like to extend it to do so.
-
- Looks like I will have to look at the source for lpr.
-
- Peter.
