You could. I don't know how.
Now that i look at it again, the use of "lpr" is coded in global.conf.
(search for it with locate)
I was getting confused since I don't have a printer here but test every
now and then with /usr/local/bin/lpr:
#!/bin/sh
cat $2
You could write your own lpr script which calls the real lpr is the -P
option ($1) is not "cat-to",
This is how dosemu printing works: it appends to a temporary file and then
flushes that at intervals using e.g.
system("lpr -Plp /home/enbeo/.dosemu/tmp/lptx5dtLU")
where only the lp after -P is configurable in dosemu.conf and replaced by
cat-to in your case.
I would use popen(3) instead, but it just isn't implemented that way.
