RudiC & Corona688,

It works charming except one error:

HTML Code:
0782-310 Usage:
        mkvirprt -A AttachmentType
        mkvirprt [ -A AttachmentType ] -d QueueDevice -n Device
         -q PrintQueue -s DataStream -t PrinterType [ -T ]
        Use 'smit mkvirprt' to use it interactively.

dspmsg: 1312-042 Invalid argument index in message.  May need
more arguments on the command line.
The script runs fine for the ones having three columns defined in the feed file
HTML Code:
cat printfeed
emg1  emg1ps  emgj1
emg2  emg2ps  emgj2
..... snipped .....
zeba                  zeba
emr12               emr12
..... snipped .....
(note)  the second column can be empty
But, the ones with empty second column returns the error above.

I think I need to modify the feed file with delimiter (pipe -- |):

HTML Code:
cat printfeed
emg1 | emg1ps | emgj1
emg2 | emg2ps | emgj2
..... snipped .....
zeba   |  |               zeba
emr12  |   |          emr12
..... snipped .....
(note)  the second column can be empty
With the delimiter in place for the feed file, please let me know how to make it run..

I tried this, but not working ....

Code:
while read q1 q3 q5
  do [ "$q5" ] || { q5=$q4; q4=""; }
     /usr/lib/lpd/pio/etc/piomkjetd mkpq_jetdirect -p 'hplj-4000' -D pcl -q "$q1" -D ps -q "$q3" -h "$q5" -x '9100'   
  done <printfeed

Please advise.

HTML::Microformats::Format::hEntry(3pm) 		User Contributed Perl Documentation		   HTML::Microformats::Format::hEntry(3pm)

NAME

       HTML::Microformats::Format::hEntry - an hAtom entry

SYNOPSIS

	use Data::Dumper;
	use HTML::Microformats::DocumentContext;
	use HTML::Microformats::Format::hAtom;

	my $context = HTML::Microformats::DocumentContext->new($dom, $uri);
	my @feeds   = HTML::Microformats::Format::hAtom->extract_all(
			  $dom->documentElement, $context);
	foreach my $feed (@feeds)
	{
	  foreach my $entry ($feed->get_entry)
	  {
	    print $entry->get_link . "
";
	  }
	}

DESCRIPTION

       HTML::Microformats::Format::hEntry is a helper module for HTML::Microformats::Format::hAtom.  This class is used to represent entries
       within feeds. Generally speaking, you want to use HTML::Microformats::Format::hAtom instead.

       HTML::Microformats::Format::hEntry inherits from HTML::Microformats::Format. See the base class definition for a description of property
       getter/setter methods, constructors, etc.

   Additional Method
       o   "to_atom"

	   This method exports the data as an XML file containing an Atom <entry>.  It requires XML::Atom::FromOWL to work, and will throw an
	   error at run-time if it's not available.

       o   "to_icalendar"

	   This method exports the data in iCalendar format (as a VJOURNAL). It requires RDF::iCalendar to work, and will throw an error at run-
	   time if it's not available.

BUGS

       Please report any bugs to <http://rt.cpan.org/>.
