It has been restructered and got a few new features. The announcement text follows. Please note that I'm out of town until March 27. So if you mail me during this time my answer might be a bit delayed. /Thomas ---------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Mail: Thomas Heil | EMail: BITNET: ICH211@DJUKFA11.BITNET Forschungszentrum Juelich - ICG2 | Internet: th.heil@kfa-juelich.de 52425 Juelich | Phone: +49 2461 61-6915 Germany | Fax: +49 2461 61-5346 ======================================================================== WLPRSPL 4.0, a Windows Sockets based print spooler for transparent printing to LPD print servers from Windows Applications WLPRSPL 4.0 allows you to print transparently from any Windows application to network printers. All that is needed is a Protocol DLL that implements an API for sending print jobs to such a remote printer. Included is WLPR2.DLL which implements the LPD protocol (RFC1179) and allows printing to LPD print servers (typically some UNIX hosts). Requirements: o Microsoft Windows 3.1 o A Protocol DLL like the included WLPR2.DLL. o Networking software that offers a Windows Sockets 1.1 DLL if the included WLPR2.DLL is used as Protocol DLL (that's the normal case for printing to LPR/LPD (RFC 1179) based printers). Changes since release 4.0: o Now uses the Protocol DLL WLPR2.DLL which allows the use of several different Protocol DLLs for different remote printers side by side. WLPR2.DLL is a re-write of the old WLPR.DLL and is not compatible with the latter. o The program now has a so-called unattended mode which causes the program to automatically retry failed print job transfers after a user-definable amount of time. o Uses CTL3D.DLL from Microsoft to give dialogs a 3D look. Availability: The ZIP archive containing the packages is WLPRS40.ZIP. The software was uploaded to the following Anonymous FTP sites: o sunsite.unc.edu in /uploads Final destination directory: /pub/micro/pc-stuff/ms-windows/winsock/apps o ftp.cica.indiana.edu in /pub/pc/win3/uploads Final destination directory: /pub/pc/win3/util or /pub/pc/win3/winsock The ZIP file contains the program and necessary DLLs as well as documentation in form of an MS Word for Windows 2.0 file and a plain ASCII file. For installation and operating instructions please refer to this documentation. A PostScript version can be sent by E-mail on demand. The program is Shareware.
