Synapse is due to release new LPR/LPD printer software for TCP/IP that
allows for print spooling, SCS or ASCII reports, multiple printer sessions
from multiple systems to multiple printers (LAN included), reprint, hold, etc.

If you already have Synapse WinAPPC or WinAPPC Lite you will be able to
upgrade for free to the new printer software.
