or a 3rd option is to use Ian Hamilton's Printspool which can either 
use Stefan's RPFS modules or it's own built in LPR code to enable 
network printing. I also gives some other features like supporting of 
text printing on non-text supporting printers and allows the resend or 
holding of printouts thus cutting doen on the time of reprints if 
required.

Setting up is easy and you just need to tell it the IP address that 
you want to send the printouts to.
