I don't know how POSIX compliant it is, but it's probably better than
the older stuff -- you might have a poke at NetBSD's lpd code. NetBSD
can be found on ftp.iastate.edu. Specifically, you'd probably want to
look in the NetBSD-current section for either a source tarball, or the
individual files (depending on your needs). More info available via
private email if you need it.
