[expert] strange remote printing problem

[Denis Havlik]

Hi

I admit that I do not understand much about the lpd. I hope someone
does... 

If i submitt a job to a printer localy with "lpr -Pfax -C123456, a file
with:

Hlucy.exp.univie.ac.at 
Proot Jfax.txt 
C123456 
Lroot
fdfA035lucy.exp.univie.ac.at 
UdfA035lucy.exp.univie.ac.at
Nfax.txt              

appears in the "spool" directory.

However, if i do the same over the network, "C" field is absent. I can
send the telephone number using the "J" field:

"lpr -Pfax -C123456 -J98765" produces a:

Pdenis 
J98765 
fdfA006marvin.exp.univie.ac.at
UdfA006marvin.exp.univie.ac.at
N/tmp/fax.txt    

does anybody know what is going on here? Both computers have a "Mandrake
6.1" with lpr-0.43-1mdk installed. There is no input filter on remote
computer. 

HELP!
