I've been working on a printer app for a while, but its taking longer than I
thought.

One thing that worries me is that the printer commands vary according to
flavour of Unix, e.g. BSDish systems use lpr & lpq while SVR4 types use
lp & lpstat.

I did think of having a Choices directory called MIME-print-ps which would
contain scripts or links to filters capable of generating Postscript from
various mime types.
