"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."
Hogwash! We have printers on SGI's and Sun's and use lpr exclusively
to send files to from ALL machines and with no problems. Just manually set
up your printcap and hosts.lpd files the same as you would on any standard
BSD UNIX machine. Currently we are using parallel ports on our SGI's for
the printers, however I know of people who use the serial ports too.
Good luck.
