The patches for lpr/lpd to run on System V have been posted to alt.sources, and I have made them available via mail for quite some time now. Here is the readme. Mon May 21 12:49:15 PDT 1990 While 386/ix (tm Interactive) has a number of network services from BSD, lpr is not one of them. This does not cause a real problem, as the shell scripts of lp can be used to perform remote printing. It is not a very good solution when interacting with other Sun or BSD systems. Jonathan C. Broome did the original port to 386/ix from the freed lpr sources. I added a few modifications, and re-did the context diffs from the tar file on uunet (~ftp/bsd-sources/src/network/lpr.tar.Z) No guarantee that this will work for you, but it works for me. To use: Unpack the shell archive, then apply the two patch files lpr.diff.1 and lpr.diff.2 with patch. The unaltered source files from the lpr tar file must be used. The C files included must be in the lpr directory.
