Hello,

When I set up a series of remote or remote/bounce queues forwarding
to each other, lpq returns status info up to the last of these.

Is there a way to configure one of these queues so that anything spooled
there is considered *printed* as soon as the files are transferred, and
that no status info for downstream queues is transmitted to clients,
seeing that queue as a black box device?

I am aware of the fact that lprng takes some shortcuts when transferring
remote jobs, especially on the same server, but
I don't quite see how to disable this behaviour.

I have a setup at work that spans multiple servers and sometimes ends in
d-link dp101 or jetdirect servers, and the fact that status info is
returned for the whole cascade is a) a potential security problem, b)
seems to confuse some clients, especially macintosh computers and c)
makes some clients try to resolve the cascade and print directly to the
most downstream queue they can get a hand on.

Thanks for any help,

Andrew S Dixon
