Well... I'm a little confused here. The list of variables that you sent that are used in accounting don't show up in my accounting file. Here are the lines from a print job in 'acct':
START A='tatela@njmsa+118' P='laser1' n='tatela' H='njmsa.umdnj.edu' D='997796748' filestart '-q20682' '-p9181' '-t2001-08-14-09:46:05.694' '-Atatela@njmsa+118' '-ntatela' '-Plaser1' fileend '-b1' '-T28' '-q20682' '-p9182' '-t2001-08-14-09:46:25.636' '-Atatela@njmsa+118' '-ntatela' '-Plaser1' END p=1 A='tatela@njmsa+118' P='laser1' n='tatela' H='njmsa.umdnj.edu' D='997796748' ...that doesn't match H, n, P, k, b, t that you said were the default. I also already have a $J as far as I know, that contains the full filename of what was printed. Am I mixing apples and oranges here, or...? ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Jr. UNIX Systems Admin |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| | [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 732/235.4170 (5-4170) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent. | IST/ACS - Robert Wood Johnson MS - S-B11 On Sat, 2 Feb 2002, Patrick Powell wrote: > > From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Jan 11 07:13:59 2002 > > Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2002 19:20:58 -0500 (EST) > > From: Ryan Novosielski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: LPRng Mailing List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Subject: LPRng: LPRng and Samba > > > > This is technically more of a Samba problem, but I bet someone will be > > willing to help me a little here. > > > > The problem here is that we have 4 campus servers.
