I've posted a solution to this a number of times, and probably sent out over
40 copies of it over email to requestors.  I have a "public-domain" version
of lpr/lpq in source form that I will send to anyone that requests it.  I 
know that it has also been archived in the info-iris.archives as well.

A second solution is to port the 4.3BSD lp suite to the IRIS--the diffs have
been posted to this newsgroup a few times.

I know that SGI will be implementing a BSD lpr (client-only) in a "future 
release". I think you will like it, as well as other BSD compatibility
enhancements.
