Yes! There is an app out on the 'net that will let Win95/98 boxes lpr. It is
called "ACITS lpr" an is available at:
<http://shadowland.hf.utexas.edu/www/acitslpr.htm>

Works pretty well, but Danny Thomas is right about not using extra trays,
and such. Danny is also right about NT having LPR native. You just need to
install Microsoft TCP/IP Printing Services.

Good Luck!
