Hello,

I have looked over the docs, but don't quite see what I am after.  Is
there a way to disable the querying of the remote machine when using lpq?

I have a few queues set up to autohold any jobs that come into them, then
when my print floor is ready, I release the jobs to the printer.  The
problem is that I have several queues that all point to the same remote lp
server, and when you do an lpq on any of the local queues, you get the
local queue listing, as well as anything on the remote printer.

Here is a snippet from my printcap:

.common:
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
        :ah
        :longnumber
        :save_when_done
        :ifhp=model=default,status@

emea-only:
        :tc=.common
        :rm=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
        :rp=lp

us-only:
        :tc=.common
        :rm=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
        :rp=lp

Basically, I just don't care what is in the queue on the remote end, so
I'd like to disable all querying of the remote end.

Since the jobs are not filtered, the ifhp line above doesn't seem to have
any effect.

Thanks.
-Adam
