Is it possible to print from an HP-UX machine sitting on Ethernet to a
laser printer attached to a Sun-3 on the same net?  Evidentally the Suns all
have a file telling the printer daemon where to send printer files, but I
can't find anything similar for the HP's.

On the Suns, one uses the command "enscript", which allows one to print
to a Postscript printer, but I don't know whether that command
sends ASCII or Postscript to the computer to which the printer is attached.
Obviously the HP would have to do much the same thing in order to use the
same printer.

If any of this sounds familiar and you know how to do it, or where to find
relevent information, please post or e-mail.
