Yeah, I DID think think about a server/client approach to this problem, but since I'm fairly new to UNIX I didn't know how to apply my limited knowledge to this type of implementation, so I just tried the above solution taking bits and pieces from textbooks and from what I learned at uni. Would u happen to have a sample code for this?? I'm sorry I'm such a pain in the ass, but I can admit when I need help, and this is one of those ocassions.

Thanx a lot for your help blowtorch, you're a legend.

NAME
lpc - line printer control program SYNOPSIS
lpc [ command [ parameter(s) ] ] DESCRIPTION
lpc provides limited control over printer and class queues provided by CUPS. It can also be used to query the state of queues. If no command is specified on the command-line, lpc will display a prompt and accept commands from the standard input. COMMANDS
The lpc program accepts a subset of commands accepted by the Berkeley lpc program of the same name: exit Exits the command interpreter. help [command] ? [command] Displays a short help message. quit Exits the command interpreter. status [queue] Displays the status of one or more printer or class queues. LIMITATIONS
Since lpc is geared towards the Berkeley printing system, it is impossible to use lpc to configure printer or class queues provided by CUPS. To configure printer or class queues you must use the lpadmin(8) command or another CUPS-compatible client with that functionality. COMPATIBILITY
The CUPS version of lpc does not implement all of the standard Berkeley or LPRng commands. SEE ALSO
