There's another solution -- we (Cayman Systems) make freely available
an lp to lpr interface package that we provide for the benefit of our
customers that have GatorPrint.  GatorPrint is the software package
that runs on the GatorBox and provides lpr-to-LocalTalk printer
access.  It is equally adept at connecting lp to UNIX-based lpr's,
since the GatorPrint software is emulating an lpr daemon.  Our
package, lprclient, installs as an interface script under lp, so users
continue to type "lp", "lpstat", etc.  It is based (with permission)
on the lpr client code in Richard Stevens' book "UNIX Network
Programming".  (I don't have my copy handy -- hope I got the title
right -- it's from Prentice Hall)

You can ftp the package, a single shar file (lprclient.shar), from
ftp.cayman.com.

PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE CAYMAN SYSTEMS TECHNICAL SUPPORT GROUP WITH QUESTIONS
ABOUT THIS PACKAGE...  It's not that they can't answer them, but they'd
rather spend their time answering questions from paying customers.  :-)

I can answer questions sent via email, but will not respond to phone calls
about this.
