TCP printing using lpd.... is it possible???

[Bryan]

I will try cups, since it's in the ports collection.  I had hoped to
use what was available on the system.  I mean, lpd should work, unless
it has become old and antiquated to the point of being unusuable...

I keep hearing good things about CUPS, but if it won't print to a
printer with an IP address, I may have wasted my money.  The idea is
to not have to hook this printer up to another computer and print
through the host.  I want to print directly to the printer...
