/pub/plan9/bsdlp.bundle on ftp.cs.york.ac.uk is an rc bundle of
components for /sys/lib/lp to allow Plan 9 machines to print
on Unix machines that have RFC1179 spoolers.  (the protocol is bizarre,
and not particularly well documented, but if you're stuck with it ... .)

there isn't much: a program to run the protocol, and some diffs
to existing /sys/lib/lp files to make BSD lp variants.

Unbundle bsdlp.bundle somewhere, and read the Install
file (which is also an rc script to do the installation)

i've been using it for a few weeks now, and `it works for me'.  i think
you'll need /sys/lib/postscript, though, to use any of the lp software
(not just this bit).

there's also a copy on nine.ecf.toronto.edu in pub/plan9/forsyth/bsdlp.bundle.
