	ACITS LPR Remote Printing for Windows 95/98/Me and NT 4.0
ACITS LPR Remote Printing is an add-in Print Monitor that adds LPR capability to the Windows Spooler. You may print directly from any application directly to your LPR printer or print server. You don't need to print to a file before sending your output to a LPR print server or printer. Client generated banner pages - great for drivers that don't support .WMF page separator files. Stand alone print server mode. You don't have to run a "in your face" application in order to print to your LPR printer or print server.

Until it't ready, the Windows NT 4.0 version *may* work, although the documentation may be dated and it doesn't work with Clustered Print Servers. You will also need to disable the Advanced Printing features option found on the Advanced Printer Properties Page. However, because this isn't a Windows 2000 version, support for getting this version to work is very limited! ACITS LPR Remote Printing is compatible with Windows Me. To date, no issues involving Windows Me have been reported.
