If you look at the log file, you will discover that the 'N' lines have the option
information on them. To be exact, lines with 'N ' have the options.
a) get the latest test version of LPRng:
ftp://ftp.astart.com/pub/LPRng/private/ <<< - look here for latest test version
b) Install it.
In the printcap entry, add the following line:
pr...: <- printcap entry
:incoming_control_filter=/usr/local/libexec/filters/fixhp
Put the following in the /usr/local/libexec/filters/fixhp file:
#!/bin/perl
# fix up the control file with HP options
# Note that this must be done BEFORE processing the
# control file
#
my(@file,@options,$options,$debug);
@file = <>;
print "file '" . join("','",@file) . "'\n" if $debug;
@options =
grep /./,
map { if(/^N O/){ $v= $_; chomp $v; $v =~ s/^N O//; $v; } else { "" } } @file;
print "option list '" . join("','",@options) . "'\n" if $debug;
$options = join(",",@options);
print "options '$options'\n" if $debug;
@file = grep !/^N /, @file;
print "new file '" . join("','",@file) . "'\n" if $debug;
if( $options ){
if( not (grep { s/$/,$options/ if /^Z/; } @file) ){
print "Z" . $options . "\n";
}
}
print @file if @file;
exit 0;
Lets run through what happens:
The job arrives at the spooler.
The 'incoming_control_filter' program is run, producing the
new control file.
The fixhp perl script will find all the 'N ' lines, extract
the options, and then remove them. It puts the
extracted 'N O' options into the Z line.
Enjoy
