Hi,


we got a printer in our office. Now I'd like to use it. I hate

configurating printers. I don't like cups. 631 is blocked.


Usually I avoid all these problems with a


cat MyVeryInterestingFile.ps | telnet IPaddressOfPrinterHere 9100


since most of the printers have that door open.


It *works*


Now, admin here is taking security a bit too seriously and it's not

possible to telnet the printer over 9100.


I was thinking of using rlpr, like


rlpr -Plp -HIPaddressOfPrinterHere MyVeryInterestingFile.ps


But I don't find rlpr in ports (4.2)


Does any of you have a workaround to print ps w/o resorting to cups?


Cheers,


Pau
