If all of the accept PostScript, can't you just add yourself to the lp
group, or whatever group that you arrange to have write access to the
/dev nodes for you printer. Then you can just 'cat file.ps > /dev/lp0'
for example. This is of course only for the local computer.
I guess if you're using lprng, you can just set up printcap to do the
same. But don't know anything about setting up network printers.
Sorry.
If this is all garbage because I haven't followed the thread closely
enough, just ignore. ^_^
Good luck!
