1. Do you have netcat or if binary is available? .... "netcat: Command not found." and no I do not know if any binary's are available.
2. Could stop print service and manually edit? .... I kind of was looking for an automated process to determine what would print and what would get "dumped"
3. Unix release and binary compatible? .... Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1B (Rev. 2650) and I believe it is binary compatible (it has samba) but that may not be 100% accurate

1. There is no GUI anywhere that I can find. It does not even seem to have xwindows. I am basically 100% CLI.
2. Yes, lpadmin is available to me.
3. Setup class for the printer....??? sorry, way over my head... please explain in more detail if you want me to follow
4. Modify filter file... Yeah, that was kind of what I was hoping to do. Copy and modify current filter file with something that would block print jobs that did not start with Manual.
5. Absolutely no worries about being a little rusty.... I have no experience at all and this is soooo ancient I had many problems finding any information at all on it. Any help you can offer or light you can shed is more than greatly appreciated.

FYI: This machine is currently being used in a production environment so any changes made need to be small and minor with little impact to the system.

how to configure the lp system to filter files passed to it

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?...

svcdumplog

NAME

       svcdumplog - Prints contents of a binary serviceability log file

SYNOPSIS

       svcdumplog [-s num_of_entries] logfile

OPTIONS

       The -s flag tells svcdumplog to skip the first num_of_entries log entries before printing, where num_of_entries is a number.

DESCRIPTION

       The svcdumplog program will print the contents of a binary log file.

       DCE  components	log  important	information about their activities and state via the DCE serviceability interface. The log messages can be
       routed as desired via the dcecp log object. The messages can also be written in either binary or in text format (information about specify-
       ing  message  format can be found in svcroute(5)). When binary format has been specified for a component's messages, each log entry will be
       written as a binary record of data defined (in dce/svclog.h) as the contents of the serviceability prolog structure. The svcdumplog utility
       will print the contents of such a binary log file as readable text.
