Hi,
Our research group has several DECStations, NeXTs and a new IRIS INdigo R4k
machine, connected through a TCP/IP network. There's a printer hooked up 
to the IRIS, and we want to use the
printer from the DEC's (which run lpr instead of lp) Is there a solution
to this problem? SGI supports printing with lpr only if the printer's on
a non-sgi machine, but not vice versa, as far as I can tell.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
