Subject: Remote Printing Over SCO TCP/IP?

I'm trying to figure out how to automatically print on a
printer attached to another host.

I have your typical TCP/IP network, with a laser printer
attached to one of the hosts on the net.  I'm running SCO
UNIX and SCO Open Desktop, which use a Locus-based tcp/ip.

I have rcp, rcmd and rlogin available. (I even have a
man-page for rprint, but rprint is a Xenix-Net or LM/X
command.)

I've been rcp'ing files to the printer-host and then
rcmd'ing a print command.  Is there a more straightforward
way to do this remote printing?  Has anyone written any
clever shell scripts to implement the "rprint" function?
