Hi Patrick,
Meanwhile I have tried again with "remote_support":
/etc/lpd_printcap:
printer1
:server
:sd=....
:lpd_bounce
:if=...
:lp=printer2@physdg05
:remote_support=RQ
printer2:
:server
....
This seems to do the trick: I can say "lpr -Pprinter1 /etc/motd" and
it's ending up in queue
printer2. "lpq -Pprinter1" shows queue printer1 and printer2.
"lprm -Pprinter1 all" does nothing (all jobs already in printer2 queue).
"lprm -Pprinter2 all"
removes the job. Disabling lpq recursion with 'remote_support=R' works
too.
If this is the correct behaviour of LPRng, my problem is solved and I do
not need an extra
flag like 'no_recursion'. If above is a dirty trick or would lead to
other problems, I would like to have an option on a general basis,
perhaps other users would like to have a command line option.
Greetings
Thomas Vogt
