ACITS LPR Remote Printing Overview
The ACITS LPR Remote Printing Client utility provides a TCP/IP
print monitor port driver for seamless Windows 95 network
printing. This port driver can be used on Windows 95 to direct
print jobs from Windows 95 to any printer or printer server that
utlizes the LPR/LPD protocol.
This package also includes a command line LPR executable program
for printing jobs directly. The ACITS LPR program, called
ACITSLPR.EXE, provides standard RFC 1179 interfaces and allows
the -S and -P parameters to be set by way of environment
variables so that drag and drop printing can be enabled for a
default printer.
