LPR Client

Has anyone here written an LPR client in TCL?

I need a Unix LPR client that can accept a variable hostname
for where to print, and every remote printer does not need
to be defined in /etc/printcap.

Thanks.

I posted code at http://mini.net/tcl/12281 that should work for you.
I use it regularly from my tcl text editor to print to a HP Laserjet 4100TN.
