In regard to: LPRng: dynamic routing based on fqdn of client, JAMIE...:

Jamie-
I received your direct email request and I've seen your post on the list,
but I need to get final confirmation that it's OK for me to share the
script I wrote that does exactly this. When I have that confirmation
I would be willing to share it.
If you know a decent scripting language (like perl or python), you could
have what you need in a couple hours. This is all documented in the
LPRNG HOWTO, mainly section 4.18 (Routing Jobs to Print Queues) and
section 12.13 (Dynamic Routing).
Basically, the routing script needs to read standard input, which will give
it a copy of the control file. One of the settings in the control file
is the `H' line, which is the originating host. For windows PCs, this is
often the NetBIOS name, FYI.
Once you have the originating host from the H line, you need to turn that
into a key, that you can use to look up what queue to use in some kind
of database (a perl hash or a flat file will work, for a first
approximation, which is all I did).
Once you know what queue you want to send the job to, your routing script
needs to output
queue the_queue_name_goes_here\n
end\n
and exit. It's that simple.
Let me know if you want me to pursue getting permission to share the
script I wrote. I think you can likely write your own in less time
than it will take me to get that, though.
