http://plan9.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/rsc/pop3get.c
(or was it rsc/plan9/pop3get.c?) is a pop3 downloader
I wrote long ago but which shouldn't be hard to
adapt to the new system.
I hope to get pop3 support into upas/fs at some
point, but I've been doing other things. If you
want a hacked upas/fs that can talk pop3 send me mail.

I've had good luck with the the BSD lp support.
See the entry for vogon in the devices file
shipped with the distribution.

You need to use lpdspool to do lpr protocol I imagine. Here is my entry to spool to
the lpd on a FreeBSD machine where the printer is connected. It's not actually
postscript; FreeBSD is the RIP.
# 600dpi postscript printer named lp via BSD LPD printer queue on george
brother printer-room george lp - post+600dpi+nohead generic lpdspool lpd - - FIFO
Note that lpdspool only works well to spoolers which don't take the job name as Gospel.
lpdspool always sends the same job number (001), so that if the jobs are queued in
a filesystem under the same name, you can't send more than one job at once. This
is true for the BSD lpd used by FreeBSD for example. I suspect that this isn't true for
printers (or Jet Direct cards), otherwise it would have been fixed by now. I have a fix,
but it's currently too untidy to publish.

Subject: [9fans] Communication with a Network Printer
Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2000 13:27:20 -0500
Message-ID: <3A3FA888.B0D128B4@FWS.Gov>
I am trying to set up printing on two network printers, an HP3si and a HP4000.
Both have jet direct cards. The handshaking with the printer does not seem to
work:
lp -d3si file_to_print
Dec 19 11:02:44 failed to receive ACK, received <0x6c>
Dec 19 11:02:44 failed to receive ACK before sending data
The message seems to be coming from lpsend. I could use some pointers on where
to look next.
I can telnet to the printers and get the tcp/ip information on the jet direct
card and call on the printer port
telnet tcp!3si!515 # or !9100
connected to tcp!3si.irm.r9.fws.gov!9100 on /net/tcp/2
device_name loc dest_host phys_dev_name speed class def_proc spooler stat kill
daemon sched
3si Hen-Conf bfbooby tcp!3si!9100 8192 post+300dpi+duplex+nohead generic generic
generic generic tcppost FIFO
4k Hen-Conf bfbooby tcp!4k!9100 8192 post/2+600dpi generic generic generic
generic tcppost FIFO
I made directories for each printer:
LPLIB/prob/3si and LPLIB/prob/4k
and made them world writable. After running the commands, nothing was in them.
