What's wrong with the rshl(1) command? If you are on machine "A"
and the printer is on machine "Z", just use:
rshl Z lp <filename;
For a more permanant fix you can move the real lp(1) command to
OLDlp, and put this script in its place:
cat $@ | rshl Z lp;
If you want to use the real lp(1), copy the existing script for a
dumb printer in /usr/spool/lp/model, replace the "cat" with the
rshl command I mentioned, and create a new (default) printer type
with lpadmin(1M). You can also change the script to pass flags
to the remote lp(1) if you want.
