I did as you told me.
On HP:
pino>lp -d fl -o landscape test.ps
Then the control file looks like this:
Hpino
Pcain
Jfl-201
C
Lcain
A0
Qfl
Ntest.ps
fdfA000pino
UdfA000pino
There is neither an O nor an S option, which means the option is
not forwarded. But besides there is another file in the spool directory
named hf* :
bnrname=cain
cf_esc_image=Hpino%0aPcain%0aJfl%2d201%0aC%0aLcain%0aA0%0aQfl%0aNtes
t%2eps%0afdfA000pino%0aUdfA000pino%0a
file_hostname=pino
filenames=test.ps, Olandscape, B
format_error=second letter must be f not 'A' - 'cA0201pino'
fromhost=pino
held=0x0
hf_name=/var/spool/lpd/fl/hfA000
hold_class=0x0
hold_time=0x0
identifier=0
job_time=0x398e841e
job_time_usec=0x6e540
jobname=fl-201
logname=cain
number=000
priority=A
queuename=fl
size=6250
transfername=cfA000pino
update_time=2000-08-07-11:40:46.453
The -o option seems to be included in "filenames".
Maybe you can give me a hint how to procede further.
( Besides installing LPRng on the HPs :-).
Philipp.
