Hi Alex,
I looked at this briefly, and I suspect it's too big for 9.1,
but I could try and look at what it would take to get it into 9.2, if
that's useful. One caveat is that it looks like this would have the
same problems that printing from Appletviewer does, i.e., it won't work
on machines without a default printer in hesiod, since it tries to run
lpc status/lpstat to determine a list of all the printers a client knows
about; on a machine with a default printer, that will return information
about the default printer, but on a machine with no default printer, it
will produce no output, and the program will be confused.
