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.
Greg
