Hi,

I'm migrating from a very old LPRng (version 3.5.1, dating back to 1997)
to a more recent version. Most function run fine but I still have troubles
to get my overview table straight. It looks like

Queue No. of Jobs Printable Held Rec. Error Printing Spooling Flags

lcws            4         2        1     1     0        yes        yes
p37             0         0        0     0     0     redirected

This table is generated by a cron job once per minute by evaluating the
hfA??? and control files in the spool directories.

With newer LPRng version the hfA-files have changed but still contain the
same information, actually the contain more information. When I wrote the
old program I tried to evaluate the output of   lpq -a   but that was no
fun.

Is there some readable document on the hfA files or is there some other
tool that may generate such a table?

Norbert
