It's not that easy to set up, but it handles remote printing far better
IMO than the standard lpd. I am able to print directly to an HP LaserJet5
with a jetdirect card without having to go through the NT print spooler
which also uses to the same printer. I couldn't get the basic lpd to
print a decent banner page with this setup, but LPRng worked fine.
