[LUGSB] Print from Anywhere

[Aaron Pellman-Isaacs]

At least on the mac side (which is all I've gotten to play with it on 
yet) it adds a printer type to use a pharos queue system and an 
application that's called when that queue is activated that prompts for 
and sends a username (popup). All the uni app is is a bundling of 
pharos' system plus the info specific to stonybrook and a driver for the 
actual printers we use. It's possible that if pharos makes a linux 
client (cant check now, heading out the door) that we cna just use the 
info it enters (it's all stored in the app package, easily findable, I 
glanced at it a while back) to add the appropriate support to linux...
