Well, I worked on this a bit. The problem here is that it appears
that this model of printer does not support nested jobs. So you
will have to do HORRIBLE things with the ifhp filter to get this.
a) Update to the latest version of LPRng.
b) get the latest beta version of ifhp:
ftp://ftp.astart.com/pub/LPRng/private/ifhp-3.3.21betaXXX.tgz
The printcap entry will look like:
test
:sd=/var/spool/lprng/queues/%P
:pl#60:mx#0
:af=acct:lf=log:ps=status
:bp=/usr/local/lib/filters/psbanner
:ab
:rw:lp=some_host%9100
:ifhp=model=hp8100,pjl_job@,of_options=pjl_job
:filter=/usr/local/lib/filters/ifhp -Tmodel=hp8100,pjl_job@
:of=/usr/local/lib/filters/ifhp -Tmodel=hp8100
The pjl_job@ says not to use the PJL JOB/EOJ facility. This will now
set up a single job.
Good luck.
