Redirecting printer output from a PC to lp

[Chris Hapgood]

The problem about detecting an end-of-file condition is simple: DOS
doesn't supply the EOF and most applications don't write one.  The
problem of not being able to determine EOF from DOS clients on a
network is most easily solved with a time-out feature. 
I believe some networks also use a method that depends upon the 
application returning to DOS.  This is pretty annoying if it is
the only method.  It also has to be performed from the client end.
