       Assuming a LIPS printer supported lpd protocol on a network as remote printer host name lphost and remote printer name lipslp the command:

	      /usr/sbin/setnetlp -p netlp -orm lphost -orp lipslp -om LIPS4

       causes the spool system to use the local printer netlp and the local model file LIPS4.
