I am looking for a lpd filter for my PostScript printer.  I would like
for it to be able to detect if lpr's input is already in PostScript
form, and if so pass it on to the printer.  If it is not in
Postscript, I would like for it to convert the text to PostScript
before sending it to the printer.  If you have any leads on such
a filter, I'd appreciate hearing about it.  

Also, I would like to have a lpd filter that does printer accounting
for a PostScript printer, and a PostScript pretty printer for straight
text, but these two items are not nearly as important as the filter.  

Thanks for your help.
