We have a Intel Netport Express Printserver that we need to be able to
generate a banner for each print job. Previously, with the old lpd we used
a second printcap entry to force a banner.
After I upgraded to LPRng, the lp0 entry to doesn't work. Instead I get the
following error:
# lpr -Plp0 /var/spool/lpd/lp0/ofilter
Status Information:
sending job 'root@host+902' to lp0@localhost

job 'root@host+902' transfer to lp0@localhost failed

/bin/cat | lpr -Prlp0 && exit 0
exit 2
I tried removing :sh: and adding :ab: to the printcap entry for rlp0, and it
still didn't print a banner.
How do I set up the printcap entries to print a banner on the remote
printserver?
Can this now be done with one printcap entry?
Thanks,
Scot
