I want to be able to hook up printers on terminalservers, so that 
we can place our printers anywhere in the house. 

We use Ultrix on DECStations version 3.1. Our terminalservers are 
Bridge CS200. As far as I understand you can assign one of the physical
ports on the terminalserver to have a separate IP address.

What's needed then, is some kind of software that will send open a (TCP?)
connection to that IP address, and send the print job to that port. Does
anyone know of such software, and will the solution I suggest do the job?

I do not know a lot about terminalservers, but I suppose it contains
the software needed to handle TCP connections, directing the output
to the physical port on the terminalserver assigned to the printer.

Thanks in advance.

-Klaus
