It doesn't. Normally the printers come with some software which can be used as an `of=' output filter, which actually does the appropriate connection to the remote device. You might try: ttcp -t -p 10001 www.xxx.yyy.zzz 2>/dev/null in an output filter script. Probably lpd should be capable of doing this (when I was at UVM we had such a one). -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
