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?
