UNBELIEVABLE! I only *JUST* sent a note to W. Jason Strutz [0] at UIUC 
(our sister campus) asking them if they were willing to release the 
source of their poorly named LibPrint. :-)

A while back I talked to one of the people that wrote the software and 
they were willing to share. The person whose name escapes me as I type 
has since left for *other pastures*...

Will let you know what I hear.
