Dear netters,
My apology if this is not the proper group to post this question...
Does anybody know if the BSD/SunOS/Solaris/SGI/HP/ATT Unix systems
all use the same lp/lpr interface? What I mean is that do they all use the
same protocol to receive/send control/data files? If not, can anyone give
me some pointers on where to find out about the lp/lpr protocols each of
these systems use?
I figure that they should at least sharing on one common protocol,
otherwise how can you have a network consisting of all these systems sharing
a printer?
Any help is greatly appreciated,
--
