Well, it IS able to talk directly to the server, but when it encounters my
printer for which I wish to supress only the subqueue (though it really
does seem as if the ENTIRE queue is suppressed, not just the subqueue,
y'know, the internal one in the print server box), it gives that error
message (apparently because I'm executing an lpc command and that queue
does not support C)... here's my printecap if it helps any:
lp
:ab
:af=acct
:bp=/products/LPRng/libexec/filters/lpbanner
:cm=Newark Lab - N217 - HP LinePrinter 2563A
:if=/products/LPRng/libexec/filters/lpf
:of=/products/LPRng/libexec/filters/lpf
:remote_support=R
:rm=ps1nwk
:rp=pr1
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
(also to ask my other question... if I want to make sure no non-text jobs
are printed to this machine, but then on output run lpf, would I have the
checking filter be the if and the lpf filter be the of, or does this have
to be done some other way? -- here's a better question even. Does anyone
currently have a filter that only allows text to print AND does CR/LF, so
I don't have to write one? :))
