remote printing on SunOS 4.1.x

I asked for help massaging printjobs bound for remote printers

under SunOS 4.1.x.

The consensus is input filters and terminal flags are only

considered on local printers, and this won't work:

     :lp=:rm=machine:rp=remo1:if=/usr/local/bin/mungit:ms=onlcr:

Several people reported tramping down this path already, and suggested

creating local printer entires that would invoke an input filter. The

input filter can do the massage, and requeue the printjob into the

proper remote queue.

I've been successul with that approach:

     :lp=/dev/null:if=/usr/local/bin/mungit:
