First, please excuse my apparent lack of attempt as this is NOT the case. I have attempted to research this for hours and realize I am way out of my league. I am not a programmer, especially in Unix.
I have an old Alpha Unix system with a program that prints to a network printer using the LPR command. Since no one has access to the source code or compiler anymore, re-writing the program seems out of the question. I believe what I am looking for is an if script that takes the standard text being sent to the printer, determines if it should actually print, and prints to the printer or prints to NULL.
In more explanation, the program prints all standard text. 3/4+ of this text is operational codes that mean nothing to anyone here and therefore really do not need printed. The rest of the text is needed and should be printed. All of this text needing printed ALWAYS starts of with the first line exactly equal to " Manual Base Iron Staging Moves " followed by several lines of important information. You may be able to use just the word Manual as the compare word. If the first word is NOT Manual, then the entire print job can be sent to NULL. If it is, then it should be directed to the printer.
AKA:
if print job starts with Manual
then print entire job to printer @icsp1/9100: as defined below
else send print job to Null
I registered a printer hp123 on Sun Solaris Server.
I think my printer is expecting a carriage return and linefeed combination at the end of each line (DOS standard), but unix files only have linefeeds at the end of each line.
How can I configure the lp system to filter files passed to it?... (1 Reply)

cupsaccept(8) Apple Inc. cupsaccept(8)NAME
cupsaccept/cupsreject - accept/reject jobs sent to a destination
SYNOPSIS
cupsaccept [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -h hostname[:port] ] destination(s)
cupsreject [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -h hostname[:port] ] [ -r reason ] destination(s)
DESCRIPTION
The cupsaccept command instructs the printing system to accept print jobs to the specified destinations.
The cupsreject command instructs the printing system to reject print jobs to the specified destinations. The -r option sets the reason for
rejecting print jobs. If not specified, the reason defaults to "Reason Unknown".
OPTIONS
The following options are supported by both cupsaccept and cupsreject:
-E Forces encryption when connecting to the server.
-U username
Sets the username that is sent when connecting to the server.
-h hostname[:port]
Chooses an alternate server.
-r "reason"
Sets the reason string that is shown for a printer that is rejecting jobs.
CONFORMING TO
The cupsaccept and cupsreject commands correspond to the System V printing system commands "accept" and "reject", respectively. Unlike the
System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to contain any printable character except SPACE, TAB, "/", or "#". Also, printer and
class names are not case-sensitive.
Finally, the CUPS versions may ask the user for an access password depending on the printing system configuration.
