Re: LPRng: 'o' filter problem
hi, if you use the 'filter=your_filter' entry every job gets filtered by 'your_filter' except those that you define in addition using the 'pldfashioned' way regards ~christoph On Thu, 10 Jan 2002, Michael F Gordon wrote: We've got a client that submits job files like the one below. The problem is caused by the line starting with 'o' which, according to the documentation, means it's a PostScript file. What I don't know is how to specify a filter for this format in printcap - 'of' is the output filter, so I can't use that. lpd won't print the job without a filter entry in printcap. Any ideas?

Re: LPRng: LPRng and Samba
hi, the SAMBA macros %M and %m contain the connecting clients internet / netbios name. If you use something like lpr ... -m%m ... as a print command the hostname will be in the controlfile in the 'M-line' all the rest is a fancy script or something like that to get it in your accounting... maybe this helps (?) regards ~christoph On Thu, 10 Jan 2002, Ryan Novosielski wrote: This is technically more of a Samba problem, but I bet someone will be willing to help me a little here. The problem here is that we have 4 campus servers. Each one hosts a Samba domain. Sometimes, users for whatever reason will go to a different campus (where they may or may not have an account -- the problem occurs when they do not). They log in using the Samba domain of their home site, but attempt to use printers on the campus they are visiting. While the PC they are using knows what their username is, and I can take this on good faith, since they do not have an account on the machine Samba serving the printers, their jobs print as the network guest user. This is clearly a problem for accounting. Does anyone know of a way for LPRng to find out who the client PC is logged in as by the time accounting occurs? We don't wish to just give away pages to students who happen to travel. It's a shame the setup is the way it is, but I'm just looking for a way to make this work in our current environment.
