Before I reinvent the wheel, can anyone provide pointers on interfacing
lpr- and lp-based spooling?  I have a network with both SUNOS/BSD machines
and HP-UX/SYSV machines and would like to be able to print from any machine
to any printer; that is, I would like to use lp(1) on an HP-UX machine to
print across our Ethernet to an Apple LaserWriter on a Sun machine and I
would also like to use lpr(1) to print from a Sun to a HPIB printer on
an HP machine.
