What kind of a LAN is it?  If you have a TCP/IP LAN, Linux can probably use
your lpd as is.  If you have a NetBEUI LAN, such as you might with a Windows
for Workgroups or Windows 95 network, then you would have to at least support
TCPBEUI (NetBIOS encapsulated by TCP/IP) on the servers and use the Samba
utility on Linux.  If you have a NetWare IPX LAN, then the Caldera commercial
dsitribution of Linux (about $70 street price) comes with a NetWare client.
