Yes - this is what I'd seen done in the past (and then copied!)
There may well be better ways, but that seems simple and clean to me.
I suppose we could fork off a whole new process space, putenv("stuff")
in that, get the lpstat output, then expire the forked process space
(thus not modifying the env for the main process) but that sounds like
an awful lot more work to no real benefit?
