Well... If you can get 'lpr' to except requests from 'nobody' you might just
have a solution ( AND a problem ;) ) ('nobody' is here pointing to the user set
up to run your webserver-processes. 'lpr' is a standard print under unix)
But as Plutarck just said : It's client-side stuff, and all dependant on what
you use and if that client can do it.
I know that Netscape doesn't accept this kind of requests.
