I'm having trouble | trying to get the HP workstations (which use the AT&T System V spooling | facilities) to be able to use the SUN file server's printer (SUN uses the | Berkeley spooling facility). +--------------- I'd set up an lp despooler to spool the print job to the Sun, then use the System V spooler. You can either use a single spool queue and specify the Sun spool queue in the -o options argument, or define lp spooler names based on Sun spooler names and extract the proper spool queue for the Sun from $0 in the lp dequeuer. Send me mail if you'd like more information on this; I've already used this trick to spool print jobs over uucp. ++Brandon -- Brandon S.
