I've put my *very simple* lpr/lprm/lpq clients on ftp.dcs.ed.ac.uk:pub/ajcd/win32lpr.zip and ftp.tardis.ed.ac.uk:/users/ajcd/win32lpr.zip, source and executables included. I'd be very interested if anyone is willing to extend these for LPRng protocol (I haven't got the time, and we don't run LPRng servers here). a. -- Angus Duggan, Harlequin Ltd., Barrington Hall, | INET: angus@harlequin.co.uk Barrington, Cambridge CB2 5RG, U.K. | FAX: +44(0)1223 873873
