Does anyone have an idea of how one might be able to setup a printer
on a unix system such that a remote user, calling in over a modem can
print on his local printer?
My plight is getting desparate.  I need to put together some method for
doing this soon.  My employer is getting frustrated with me and my
co-workers for not coming up with a solution for this problem.
I need some help developing the necessary entries in a printer model,
very little documentation is provided with the system to assist one
in this endeavor.
A sample script would be helpful, determining what terminal type is
in use (wyse 60 or VT100 for example use different start/stop sequences
for the printer) and how to use terminfo, printcap or whatever to determine
those sequences if defined.
If this is not the appropriate newsgroup, please forward it to that area.
I am on a waffle connection and do not have ftp access.  E-mail or post
responses please.

Ad-Thanks-vance
