Most printers will spew pages of jibberish if you send binary PostScript via port 9100 unless it has been TBCP encoded.

Somebody just reminded me that some printer manufacturers provide lpr queues which are capable of dealing with binary PostScript. For example, http://h20015.www2.hp.com/en/document.jhtml?lc=en&docName=bpj05969&cc=us

What are the other pros and cons of using lpr vs port 9100 to send print jobs to printers?
