Hi

>From my dark days of working with lpd on other platforms, I though that the following is possible.

I would like to replace the following printcap entry

MYPRINTER:\
        :af=/usr/adm/MYPRINTER-lpacct:\
        :ct=tcp:\
        :if=/usr/lbin/hplaserof:\
        :lf=/usr/adm/MYPRINTER-lperr:\
        :lp=_at_MYPRINTER/hp:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/MYPRINTER:\
        :xf=/usr/lbin/xf:

with

MYPRINTER:\
        :af=/usr/adm/%P-lpacct:\
        :ct=tcp:\
        :if=/usr/lbin/hplaserof:\
        :lf=/usr/adm/%P-lperr:\
        :lp=_at_%P/hp:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/%P:\
        :xf=/usr/lbin/xf:

where %P represents the name of the printer (in this case MYPRINTER). From recollection I have seen this done on other lpd implementations but I cannot remember what the variable name is (I know it is not %P).

Please respond to Michael.Whittaker_at_pac.ericsson.se and I will summarise.

Regards - Mike
