  The LP spooling as implemented in SysV (I haven't looked on SUNod but
I think it's the same) just executes a shell script with some arguments
defined and the file to be printed as stdin. I have a system setup to
use another systems printer, and the script uucp's the data to a special
directory on the machine with the printer. You can also do this by Enet,
and by allowing LPR in L.cmds so that it can be executed remotely. You
could cross mount directories if you have NFS.
