Thanks to all who responded.
I have opted to try Bruce Zimmer's solution.
Bruce suggested using an LPD Server called RPM available from
(http://www.brooksnet.com).
<Exert from Bruce's Solution>
<snip>....RPM (remote print manager) runs an LPD server on the PC. The
only requirement
would be that the PC have a fixed address so that the PC can be defined
in
the /etc/printcap file.
The software costs $100.00 per PC (qty discounts available) and is by
far
the best LPD Server we have found to date for PC's.
Again, Thanks All.
Cheers,
