LPRng/PLP ARCHIVE README ------------------------ Welcome to the LPRng/PLP archive! This archive is mirrored at the following sites: ftp://ftp.iona.com/pub/plp (main site, but slooow) ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/pub/utils/plp ftp://ftp.beckman.uiuc.edu/pub/plp ftp://ftp.cs.umn.edu/pub/plp ftp://ftp.zod.wau.nl/pub/mirror/plp ftp://ftp.lps.ens.fr/pub/software/plp ftp://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/pub/unix/printer/plp The current version of PLP is stable, and beats most BSD-derived lpd/lpr systems any day of the week. However, it's no longer under active development or support, and for a stable, portable, and much-enhanced version of the LPR subsystem, you should probably use LPRng instead (see below). That said, if you want to give PLP a go, see PLP/README for more details. Patrick Powell's LPRng software, which is a complete rewrite of PLP with much new functionality, is available here in the "LPRng" subdirectory. This is mirrored nightly from its home site (ftp://dickory.sdsu.edu/pub/LPRng). There's a mailing list for discussion, patches, and ideas for PLP and LPRng. Send a "subscribe" message to to join up. If you want to browse past messages to the mailing list, there's an archive of past messages from this list in the file "mail-archive"; and older messages are kept in the "mail" subdirectory. There's also a full hypermail archive of the LPRNG mailing list here. There's some programs that have proved useful to myself and/or other PLP/LPRng/LPR users, in the "contrib" subdirectory. -- Justin Mason (jmason@iona.com)... last mod: Feb 14 15:33:16 1997
