I am trying to set up a CUPS printer�that will print a�single print job�on�two 
separate printers.� I saw a technique online using a CUPS interface script, but 
it seems the interface script is being bypassed (the first line in the script 
uses echo to put some text into a
file in my home directory, which is not happening).� The method is to create a 
printer with the URI set to /dev/null and an interface that spawns two new 
print jobs, one to each of the two printers you want it to print on.� Here is 
what I have done:
�
Script
interface_script:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Interface script is running." >>/home/me/debug
lp -d printer1 $6
lp -d printer2 $6
_________________________________
Create Printer:� lpadmin -p twoprint -i interface_script -v /dev/null
-E
�
The lpadmin copies the interface_script into /etc/cups/interfaces/twoprint as 
expected and the permissions on the twoprint script are 755.� The CUPS LogLevel 
is set to debug2 and I don't see anything that looks to me to be an obvious 
problem in
/var/log/cups/error_log.


I had this working in the past, but now I am trying to set it up again and 
can't get it to work.� Does anyone have an idea why the interface script is not 
getting run?
