Forsyth has a bsdlp package on his web page o' Plan9 software,
I believe.  I've been using it for quite some time and it works well.

The only problem you might have is if you try to print to some
really old machines that actually require you to be coming from
a TCP port in the range 730-740 (or something like that).  None
of the new software requires this anymore; Linux or a recent
Solaris should be just fine.
