Cc: infosys@mit.edu, itag@mit.edu


KLP is a replacement for WLPR Spooler and enables Windows machines to print 
to most network printers on campus.   Specifically, any printer with a LPR 
(Line Print Request) or KLPR (Kerberized LPR) print queue such as SAP or 
Athena Cluster printers.  KLP is the parallel Windows product to KLPR on 
the Macintosh.

KLP was developed as part of Project Pismere and can be utilized on any 
current version of Windows (9x, ME, NT 4, and 2000).

The KLP Release Team is working to write a customized installer to make it 
easier for the community to install and use KLP.  We are also working to 
publish documentation that will show how to use and configure KLP on your 
machine.  We expect to release KLP in the second week in March.

If you are interested in helping us test KLP, please contact 
klpr-release@mit.edu.

More information on the release is available at http://mit.edu/swrt/klp/.

Thanks,
Jonathan
