Because several people asked me, I dug into the archives again and
found the following in the UMich Mac archives. That would be
ftp://mac.archive.umich.edu/
 
/mac/util/print/lpdaemon3.4.cpt.hqx
 73    3/21/95    BinHex4.0,Compact1.51
 
  Transmit files from Unix hosts through your Mac (which acts as a
  server), to be printed on LaserWriters on the Macintosh netw  Includes
  LPR 1.0.1, an lpDaemon client that submits jobs to a
  (UNIX) printer queue.  Both require MacTCP.  Different from
  /mac/util/print/lpr1.2.cpt.hqx 
 
/mac/util/print/lpr1.2.cpt.hqx
 65      1/23/93    BinHex4.0,Compact1.51
 
   Print Mac files to a Unix lpd daemon (printing daemon, that is).  The
  files can be formatted by the Macintosh, or by the remote lpd daemon.
   Requires MacTCP.
