I don't know precisely what's going on, but the controlfile is created by the first instance that uses the lpr protocol and will not be changed later...
There is one other thing I thought about (I had some stupid problems lately) are you sure the options don't get dropped by using "lp -d PRINTER -o OPTIONS" perhaps "lp -o OPTIONS -d PRINTER" would be worth a try ?

Thanks ChristopherThat is precisly where my problem is burried. There are no Z options in control file.
I do not know whether "-a" options are discarded at origination point (ea Unixware) or at receiving point (ea Linux) or at LPRng levelThat is why I wanted to see what is being received before any processing takes place.

Users on remote UnixWare v 7.1 are sending print job using ATT printing system. The ATT printing system uses -o for option specifications.

My efforts with prifix_o_to_z are ineffective. I suspect that UnixWare may not be sending the -o options or might do it incorrectly (no that cannot be ;-) ) but I would like to be sure? Is there a way to see them?
