John,

I have looked for them in the past and there aren't many. Here are the ones 
I know of although not all of them are free. If you find others please let 
me know.

PMLPR Print Spooler for Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 - Freeware

WLPR is an implementation of a BSD Unix LPR client. This allows a PC
runnig Windows 95, Window 3.1 or Windows For Workgroups to send files
over TCP/IP to a printer for printing. - Shareware

The most current version of WLPR I know of is 1.2. Do a Google search for 
wlpr12.zip.


ACITS LPR Remote Printing v3.6a for Windows 95/98/Me and NT 4.0 - not free

I recently found that D-Link ships one with their DP-303. I haven't tested 
it and so far I haven't figured out what kind of license it has.
