HISTORY
LPRng is a enhanced printer spooler system, with function-
ality similar to the Berkeley LPR software, and is derived
from the PLP (Public Line Printer) software, version 4.0.
LPRng has many advanced features, which are described in
LPRng - An Enhanced Line Printer Spooler by Patrick
Powell, San Diego State University (papowell@sdsu.edu), et
al. It is available from dickory.sdsu.edu:/pub/LPRng.
The LPRng software is based on PLP4.0, supported and
extended by Justin Mason (jmason@iona.ie), which is avail-
able from ftp://ftp.iona.ie/pub/PLP4.0. Justin greatly
aided in the design and development of many of the soft-
ware features, as well as contributing a large number of
bug fixes, design reviews, and other suggestions.
