TRLPR - Thomas' lpr remote printing clients and server

2012-08-18: Source code is also available under GNU GPL: trlpr11_src.zip

What does this package provide?

You want to print from your Atari-ST compatible computer on a printer connected to a remote computer? The printer that is connected to your ST shall be usable from a remote machine?

Well, here is the solution, provided you have:

• The remote printer(s) are attached to remote host(s) that are reachable via TCP/IP and have a lpd printer spooler daemon running. This may also be an Atari-ST compatible machine
• The Atari-ST machine(s) run(s) a TOS compatible OS
• Peter Rottengatter's STiNG TCP/IP software is up and running on the ST(s).

Please read the manual lpr.txt on how to install and use this package, license, etc.
