I'm trying to do a little KSH script that will give a user a menu that
they can list printers on the system, check printer status, and send
printing. I have come up with the following so far to save the printer
names in an array so that the user just selects printer by number:
for foo in $(/usr/sbin/lpc status|grep ":");do
let ctr+=1
prtrs[ctr]=${foo%:lp*}
done
I am still getting the colon (:) at the end of the printer name which I
need to get rid of to use in the printer commands. Does anyone
have any suggestions on getting rid of it (or better way of doing it?)
Thanks.
