lprwire (Sat Oct 25 2014 01:31:01)

lprwire

This program sits on the normal lpr port - port 515 - and pretends to be a
fully functional lpr deamon.

It allows ALL lpr traffic for a server to be sucked in and treated like an
incoming data stream like a wire service.

A small FipHdr is added with date and time fields, sender and receiver logons
before the file is passed on - normally to spool/2brouted for 'iproute' to sort
out.

Note that on some flavours of Unix, 'lprwire' needs to be started by someone
with 'root' priviledges if the port number is less than 1024 - which port 515
normally is !

Example
	lpr -Y -Pfip@(yourhost) (filename)
