Can someone tell me how to interface w/the lp daemon in HP-UX 8.xx from
a C program.  Forking lp isn't acceptable.  I've looked through the books,
manuals, & header files w/no luck.  I did read something about creating a pipe
& sending that pipe's name to the daemon, but it wasn't specific enough for me
to do the coding.  Any references, details, or examples would help a lot.

Thanks in advance,
