slp -c132 -i0 -n <&1
cat -
I need help understanding what the "<&1" does and how it all works with "cat
-".
OK... I'm not an HP-UX guy, but is that really all that's in the script?
"<$1" tells the slp command to take the first argument of the command line as
it's input.
But this seems strange to me. UniVerse passes the UNIX user id in $1:
$1 UNIX user ID of the user who spooled the job
$2 Job ID of the print job
$3 Size of the print job in bytes
$4 Job description
$5 Form assigned to the print job
$6 UniVerse printer name
$7 SETPTR (UNIX) line length
$8 SETPTR (UNIX) page length
$9 SETPTR (UNIX) eject flag (1 = EJECT, 0 = NOEJECT)
Shift the argument stack down to reference the following two arguments:
$1 SETPTR (UNIX) banner flag (1 = print banner, 0 = suppress banner)
$2 SETPTR (UNIX) USEROPTS options
On our system we create a unix and UniVerse printer. Our common driver is:
-----
while [ ! -z "`lpstat -r | grep not `" ]
do
/etc/init.d/lp start
sleep 30
done
cat - | lp -o nobanner -d${Prnter}
# End of Script
This checks to see if lp is running, if not it starts it. It then shoots the
input (-) to lp, suppressing the Unix banner, setting the destination to be the
same as the UniVerse printer ID.
