Hi ,

Can somebody Please help me in finding out where I am going wrong.
Suppose i have a file called r_wer which contains files.
for ex :
LMN20001
LMN20002
LMN20003
Now I want to print them.

The way I am doing is
$ for a in `cat '/r_wer'`
> do
> lp -d printername $a
> done

But it is giving me an error message.
lp: can't access file "LMN20001"
lp: request not accepted. This is with all the files.
Can somebody Please help me.

You Can Use CGI Script To Do This.



#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";

@files = ("LMN20001", "LMN20002", "LMN20003");

print "@files\n";

Alright what if I have around 1000 files then i think just
@files = ("LMN20001", "LMN20002", "LMN20003");
would not be a good idea.

Any other suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Just check whether all the files that you are trying to print are in the current directory from where you are issuing this command . if not then give the full path names of the files in the file r_wer
I tried the same thing by making a script file and it worked fine.

for a in `cat './files.txt'`
do
lp $a
done

files.txt is the same as your r_wer.
That's it
