That's it! It should be a liitle program that behaves like lpr to just
print pages in text mode. No matter if the printer is connected via
network or directly.

Any application already available that can do that?

Yes, FinePrint is a nice and helpful application which I used for
a long time on my former windows box. But, well, the tool I'm looking
for should be lpr like.

Best regards,
