Clarification, please? 

The PC-NFS printing model is, in essence, to get the print data onto the
server and then let PCNFSD worry about it.  Check out the last version
of PCNFSD I posted for an example of how to get rotated 2 column
output using a dedicated printer name. Or do you feel I should
burden the PC with direct "lpd" support?

Just curious.
