Hi all,

I am looking for a utility which hopefully
I won't have to write myself.

I want to be able to submit a print job
to a printer that is across a network
on a one-off basis from the commandline.

I don't want a local print queue, nor to
get a local print server running. I just wanna
do the network equivalent to "cat x.ps > /dev/lp0".

Thanks for any help!
