Send print jobs to lpd servers anywhere on a network. Does not require
|
|
lpd server to be listed in client's /etc/printcap, and is therefore
|
|
useful for printing from machines one does not have root access on.
|
|
|
|
This version has been completely redesigned and rewritten from the
|
|
ground up. the source code is oh-so-much-better than before. there are
|
|
also a number of user-visible changes:
|
|
|
|
. addition of new rlprm command
|
|
. new hooks for internationalization support
|
|
. build procedure now uses automake in addition to autoconf
|
|
. new --timeout option in case remote end dies
|
|
. new --send-data-first option to improve support for buggy lpd's
|
|
. now works with hp jetdirect printers
|
|
. shiny-new rlpr progress meter, useful for printing over slow links
|
|
. all printing commands default to `lp' printer now, like bsd
|
|
|
|
Gettext (-lintl) is ripped out by this port because it adds bloat
|
|
without functionality -- there are no language files supplied with this
|
|
package yet. May be in future versions.
