Sorry Patrick, pest returns. Having read through the ifhp HOWTO more
carefully I've come across the following which might be more
appropriate, this way I can tell them what's wrong, kill the job and let
the printer get on with the rest of the queue.
7.9 File Transfer and Error Status Monitoring......
Finally, there are codes or classes of codes that require operator
intervention. These are specified using the pjl_alert_codes, and the
pjl_alert_handler program will be invoked to send them to the
appropriate destination. The formated error
message will be available on STDIN for the handler. For example:
pjl_alert_codes=[ 41* 42* 23* ]
pjl_alert_handler=/usr/local/libexec/filters/alert_handler
.......
One slight problem, does the script get the standard set of lprng/ifhp
style paramters? Either nothing's being passed in or I'm completely
missing something.
All I get from STDIN is the "PC/Upper/Tray2 - Letter Paper" style
message.
