I have written a printerd/printerdc combination which listens on the
printer socket and understands the lpd protocol coming from a Sun. This
was so the Sun could send to the laser printer on our OS-9 system. It is
not a complete implementation, and there are some laser-jet specifics in
it. It understands the -i (indent) option, and uses -l to mean "little",
to give the small line-printer font. It does not depend on our Print
Spooler, but can happily co-exist with it.

Mail me if you are interested.

Tony.
