	Hi!  I was wondering if there is/are any existing program(s) out
there that would allow for a PC terminal to print a file on the Unix
machine to the local printer that's attached to the PC terminal. e.g.
say I'm hook up to a Unix machine via modem, and I want to print a
file on the Unix machine to my PC printer.  Is there anyway of doing
that without having to download the file to my PC and do some
conversion to printout the file?  i.e. sending the print job to
printer attached to terminal.  If there is such a program, could some
kind soul please tell me where and how can I get a hold of it?

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
--Wayne
