Gee, this is strange because I just did this (literally)
a few seconds ago from Netscape.
Here is what I did to set this up:
a) used the Netscape ports entry:
From My Notes:
cd /usr/local/ports/www/netscape-*47* (or whatever)
make
curse and scream and downloaded the file by hand
(grrrrr... stupid legalities)
make
make install
rehash
netscape
curse and scream and edit .cshrc file,
remove the MOZILLA_HOME entry, unsetenv MOZILLA_HOME
netscape
b) netscape / print
select 'lpr'
file printed.
You can test this if you want:
1) set up /tmp/testlpr
#!/bin/sh
echo "It worked!" >/tmp/status
echo "$0" "$@" >>/tmp/status
cat >>/tmp/status
exit 0
chmod a+x /tmp/testlpr
Test it:
/tmp/testlpr v1 v2 </etc/motd
2) When you do printing from netscape, instead of 'lpr'
specify /tmp/testlpr
You can now see what happens.
Enjoy.
Patrick
