I recently upgraded from version 3.8.20 to version 3.8.27 and it appears that if my incoming_control_filter modifies the Z line that the additional options giving in append_z or prefix_z are never added to the Z line that lands in the hfA control file. I don't have a system w/ 3.8.20 to test whether the options were added prior to calling the control_filter or after.
An easy work around is to add them in the filter itself from the PRINTCAP_ENTRY environment variable. Also, in the documentation for the new incoming_control_filter in the release notes there is a strong warning against mucking with the contents of the A line. Can someone with more background provide more details about the 'risks' of changing this line? Is it safe to change the user and host info as long as the job number itself is not touched?
