Lets look at your printcap in detail:
tidovrl07c
:rp=raw
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/tidovrl07c
:sh
:if=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp
:if=/usr/local/libexec/filters/lpf
:rm=10.49.1.90
:lpr_bounce
:prefix_option_to_option=S,O Z
Note: you have two :if entries. Perhaps you want to use ':filter' instead?
Or only one :if entry?
Short and brutal answer:
tidovrl07c
:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
:rm=10.49.1.90
:prefix_option_to_option=S,O Z
tidovr_out:
:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
:filter=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp
More detailed answer:
The control file options are rewritten only when transferring from one
queue to another. But don't despair - you can pass the options to the
filter:
:if=/usr/local/libexec/filters/lpf -Z ,$-O
$X with -X<value> (if present)
$0X with -X <value> (adds space)
$'X with -X'<value>' (adds quotes)
$-X with <value> (drops key)
$0-X with <value> (same as $-X)
$'-X with '<value>' (adds quotes)
${ss} with value of printcap option ss
$'{ss} with quoted value of printcap option ss or job control file option
So, ',$-S,$-O' gets evaluated as ',<S options>,<O options>'
and the ifhp filter will split at the quotes and then at the commas.
<aside> so I typed this in to check it, and I got some garbage
for the $-S option - to be exact, the printer name...
</aside>
BUT... 'S' is reserved for the Printer Comment Name (GRRRNNN....,
history strikes again.) In the next release you can do:
${X} with value of job control file option X
and now:
',${S},${O}'
Will work correctly.
Sigh...

Version LPRng-3.8.22 - Sun Jul 20 16:02:05 PDT 2003
lpf.c - removed log() and fatal().
(Suggested by: Torsten Rohlfing <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)
Filter command line options now allows ${X} to reference a control file
option. You can now use:
$X with -X<value> (if present)
$0X with -X <value> (adds space)
$'X with -X'<value>' (adds quotes)
$-X with <value> (drops key)
$0-X with <value> (same as $-X)
$'-X with '<value>' (adds quotes)
${ss} with value of printcap option ss
$'{ss} with quoted value of printcap option ss or job control file option
Example: filter=ifhp -Z '${S},${O}'
This will get the O and S options from the job control file. Note that
$S is the 'printer comment name' and '$P' is the 'actual printer name'.
