I am attempting to write my own backend to a "print queue" for AIX 4.3.3
For starters I have written a simple backend that simply does
echo $* >/tmp/queuelog
However when I lpr from a remote Solaris box using
lpr -Pmyaixserver:myqueue myfile
the values that appears in /tmp/queuelog on AIX are temporary file names
e.g.
-HSUN1 /var/spool/lpd/dfA042SUN1.1145869593
/var/spool/lpd/dfA042SUN1.1145869593
How can I get the original name of the file from lpr?
