We use hp interfaces and emulex interfaces here. Both of them can be used by nt directly. When defining the printer in the print manager, pick other for the "print to" box. Then pick "LPR port". You have to enter the name (or ip-addr) of the remote system and the name of the printer. Emulex uses TEXT or PASSTHRU depending on if you want crlf added for you or not. The hp card uses "text" and "raw" for the printer names. Once defined, you can print to them like any other printer...

As far as I know the lpr command in Windows NT is command-line oriented only. This means that normal applications like Word, etc. can not print to a Unix printer using the lpr command, but I haven't played with lpr in Windows NT yet... peloy.- -- Eloy A.
