I have a PC using QVTNET. The user
is unable to print using lpr due to the fact that Solaris 2.4 uses SVR4 printing
instead of BSD. Sun told me that there is shareware/freeware on the net that
will create a BSD flavor lp daemon and allow BSD lpr'
Does anyone know where this software is located on the net???

I am at a loss as to why you can't print to/from a Solaris 2.X system.
They support BSD protocol. The SVR4 and Solaris LP print systems
each support two network protocols the first is the SYSV LP
on-the-wire protocol and the other is the BSD protocol (RFC-1179). In
Solaris 2.6, the only network protocol supported by the print system
will be the BSD protocol.

1. Looking for BSD printer daemon
Does anyone know where I can get the source for a BSD printer daemon which
will run on a system V machine (SCO ODT 1.1) and will accept printer requests
across the network?
Thanks in advance
