53 &remoteprint($env, $items, $borrower);
55 Prints the list of items in C<$items> to a printer.
57 C<$env> is a reference-to-hash. C<$env-E<gt>{queue}> specifies the
58 queue to print to; if it is empty or has the special value C<nulllp>,
59 C<&remoteprint> will print to the file F</tmp/kohaiss>.
61 C<$borrower> is a reference-to-hash giving information about a patron.
62 This may be gotten from C<&getpatroninformation>. The patron's name
63 will be printed in the output.
65 C<$items> is a reference-to-list, where each element is a
66 reference-to-hash describing a borrowed item. C<$items> may be gotten
67 from C<¤tissues>.
