[Simh] Connecting SimH to a Network Printer

Hi all,

Is it possible to attach a network printer to a SimH line printer device
on Linux?

At the moment I am having to do the following:

1) attach -n lp filename1
2) run the program that generates printed output
3) attach -n lp filename2
4) !lpr filename1

Would be nice to just run the program and have it automatically print
when it finishes.

In case it helps I have attached the lpoptions output.
