There is a program in the LPRng utilities stuff that emulates
a jetdirect. Somewhere. I wrote it in a hurry once.
It simply sits on a socket, gets a file, and then runs
LPR to send the file:
$port = new socket( bind to port 9100 );
while( $connection = accept( $port ) ){
my $tempfile = new FileHandle( "|/usr/local/bin/lpr -P$pr");
die "cannot make lpr" if( not $tempfile )
while( read( $buffer, 1024, $tempfile ) ){
print $tempfile $buffer
}
close($tempfile);
}
exit 0;
