Ok, OK, but -hum- why not yet-another-stupid-flag for desperate people who wants any new version to be *fully* compatible with previous versions?? Having host aliases enables me (and possibly other people) to change printer server hosts very quickly (just move host alias, then restart nscd and lpd on new server [solaris]), without having to modify any printcap file (which are NFS mounted and updated every night). Not a very big trouble, of course. Now, i know (and it was not in ChangeLog). Thanks again for the answer. PS: still with 3.8.8, the "done" jobs seem to accumulate in the spool (and in lpq status), even with "done_jobs=1", "done_jobs_max_age=0" and "save_when_done@", as reported by "lpc server".
