Hi all, I was wondering if any one could tell me if there is a way of printing to a specific "port" of an IP address. Something like "lpr" style printing but no remote machine name. The equipment is not another FreeBSD box but a print server without lpr capabilities. ie. IP Address = 10.1.1.1 Service/Port = 1000 I do not know enough about remote printing to know if this could be achieved with an /etc/printcap entry. Or if a simple C program could do the same thing. Ideally I like to be able to run a command like: cat - | nprint 10.1.1.1 1000 Where nprint is the filter program to handle output. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
