Is there an lpr utility written for a machine running MVS and
supporting TCP/IP?

Specifically, I'd like to send output from a mainframe to a printer
attached to a Unix machine, using the latter's lpd daemon. The only
way I've found to do it now is to ftp from the Unix machine and "get"
the file, piping it through lpr.  I'd like to be able to issue the lpr
command from the MVS side (without telnetting to Unix, ftp'ing back to
get the file, quitting ftp, then ending telnet).

(I can do this under MS-DOS, on a PC with an ethernet card running the
right software, so the idea isn't far-fetched.)

E-mail responses preferred. Thanks.
