- We are looking at using some LPS20s through lpr. We already have our Unix
- boxes printing to them, and someone thought "wouldn't a single, consistent
- interface be nice?" Really!!! The main interest is that we have a number of
- VAXen that have been moved into the network that have (or will have) MultiNet,
- and none have Print Services.
