There is no discussion in the FBSD HANDBOOK about how to set up a simple
"print server" (for printers remote to said host). I just did it today
and I am sure that many others have done this, and some have probably
have gone way beyond "simple".

Would there be any interest in some documentation about this (ie; using
lp=/dev/null and if=<script to process input and send to real printer>)?

I did this for an ASCII to Postscript function we have at work that used
to reside on an NT server which is apparently "suffering" from "computer
Alhzheimer's disease" (very real!).
