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)
Hello..
Plz, Any one can help me ?
when I execute a printing system with the command lp -d<name of printer>, no result with all printers.
I have verified the three processes : qdaemon, lpd, writesrv (No problem).

Hello folks,
I'm currently working on migration of printing system from one server to another (namely from Sol 9 to Sol 10).
I would like ask if is possible to manage migration via simple copying /etc/printers.conf file and folder /etc/lp to the new server??? I'm not sure if printers... (2 Replies)

EvmFilterCreate(3) Library Functions Manual EvmFilterCreate(3)NAME
EvmFilterCreate(), EvmFilterDestroy(), EvmFilterIsFile(), EvmFilterReadFile(), EvmFilterSet(), EvmFilterTest() - event filter evaluator
routines
SYNOPSIS
Library
EVM Support Library
Parameters
filter_evaluator For filter_evaluator is the return handle of an established filter evaluator.
For filter_evaluator , identifies the filter evaluator that uses the filter_string in subsequent matches.
For filter_evaluator identifies the filter evaluator that compares the supplied event with the filter string.
For filter_evaluator identifies the filter evaluator to be destroyed.
filter_string The filter string used by the filter evaluator in subsequent matches. See the EvmFilter(5) manpage for the syntax.
event The event to be compared with the filter string currently associated with the filter evaluator.
matchFlag The result obtained when the supplied event is compared with the filter string currently associated with the filter evalu-
ator. Possible return values are as follows:
The event matches the
filter_string.
The event does not match the
filter_string.
DESCRIPTION
The filter evaluation routines check whether an event matches a given event filter. These functions are useful to clients that pass a com-
plex filter to the EVM daemon. Then the clients test incoming events against subcomponents of the filter to determine the appropriate
action.
The routine establishes an instance of a filter evaluator, returning a handle in filter_evaluator.
The routine passes a filter_string to the filter_evaluator for subsequent matches.
The routine compares the supplied event with the filter_string currently associated with the filter_evaluator. The result is returned in
matchFlag. Possible return values are as follows:
The event matches the
filter_string.
The event does not match the
filter_string.
The indirect filter syntax, is supported by the and routines. Programs which support indirect filters may use to determine whether a user-
supplied filter string is indirect. If so, then use to expand the file to a regular filter string.
returns if the supplied filter_string uses indirect filter notation, and returns otherwise.
interprets the supplied filter_string, and attempts to open and read the referenced file. returns a pointer to heap space memory contain-
ing the expanded filter string. The caller is responsible for freeing the memory when it is no longer needed. NULL is returned if an
error occurs while reading the file. Note that does not attempt to validate the filter string contained in the file.
The routine destroys the filter_evaluator, freeing all associated resources.
RETURN VALUE
The operation completed without error.
A filter string that is syntactically invalid passed to the filter evaluator.
One of the arguments to the function is invalid.
A value in a structure member is invalid.
An operation failed because an attempt to acquire heap memory failed.
An attempt was made to use a filter evaluator without first calling
which provides an initial filter string.
An attempt to read a filter file failed.
ERRORS
The value of is not set.
