I've noticed a few comments regarding the lpd in NetBSD recently -
is anyone interested in integrating LPRng into NetBSD?

LPRng - An Enhanced Printer Spooler
ABSTRACT
The LPRng software is an enhanced, extended, and
portable version of the Berkeley LPR software. While
providing the same general functionality, the imple-
mentation is completely new and provides support for
the following features: lightweight (no databases
needed) lpr, lpc, and lprm programs; dynamic redirec-
tion of print queues; automatic job holding; highly
verbose diagnostics; multiple printers serving a sin-
gle queue; client programs do not need to run SUID
root; greatly enhanced security checks; and a greatly
improved permission and authorization mechanism.
