You will need to first check to see how the HP SysV print stuff
is forwarding the options.
First, stop the LPRng print queue:
h4: {529} % lpc stop
Printer: t1@h4
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: stopped
Now, on your HP system, print to the print queue and make sure that
the job has been spooled:
hp: # lp -d t1 -o landscape /tmp/one.ps
Now check to see that the job arrived:
h4: {531} % lpq
Printer: t1@h4 'Test Printer : 1' (printing disabled)
Queue: 1 printable job
Server: no server active
Rank Owner/ID Class Job Files Size Time
1 papowell@hp+490 A 490 /tmp/one.ps 145 12:42:59
Now look in the spool queue and check the control file:
h4: {531} % more /var/spool/lpd/t1/cf*
Apapowell@hp+490
CA
D2000-08-05-12:42:59.257
Hhp.private
J/tmp/one.ps
Lpapowell
Ppapowell
Qt1
Slandscape
N/tmp/one.ps
fdfA490h4.private
UdfA490h4.private
(Note that I faked the Slandscape entry)
If the option is being delivered, then you can use the option conversion stuff.
In the next release of LPRng you will be able to do:
:prefix_option_to_option=S,O Z
which will prefix the options as you need.
