My idea is simple: Make lwsrv masquerade as a LaserWriter in the Chooser. When sucking up the PostScript from Modula-II or Turbo-Pascal or whatever, strip the PostScript and send it to the lineprinter. If you find a neat solution, please let me know. You will make 500 1st and 2nd year undergraduates very happy!
