I have the same idea, and the funds to pay someone for 2 months
to come up with a filter to do this, but no available manpower.

My idea is simple:  Make lwsrv masquerade as a LaserWriter in
the Chooser.  When sucking up the PostScript from Modula-II
or Turbo-Pascal or whatever, strip the PostScript and send it
to the lineprinter.

If you find a neat solution, please let me know.  You will make
500 1st and 2nd year undergraduates very happy!
