No such problem with the CUPS_SERVER environment variable.
The command lpstat -v -a shows all the print queues for ServerName or the server specified by CUPS_SERVER environment variable, the devices they are attached to and their accepting states. Five things to note: 1. The environment variable overrides both the user and system client.conf files. http://localhost:631/help/sharing.html?TOPIC=Getting+Started 2. The command lpstat -a -v does not give an output identical to lpstat -v -a. 3. The -h option takes precedance over a user/system client.conf file and the CUPS_SERVER environment variable. Using an alternative server we would execute lpstat -h hostname[:port] -a -v 4. The command lpstat -a -v -h hostname[:port] does not produce the same outcome as the previous command. 5. Upstream would probably not see any bug in this behaviour. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.printing.cups.bugs/5885 Regards, Brian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-printing-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
