Question Need to capture spooled print files
Hi.
I run hpux 10.20. My problem is that I need to save or hold print spool files. I print using lp, and the printers are connected to HP jetdirect print servers.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Your printer should have a model script located in /var/spool/lp/interface. You can modify this script to do pretty much what ever you want. I believe this will only work if you have a local definition for that printer, as opposed to a remote definition. It's worth a look at though. The name of the model script will be the same as the name of the print queue. A simple cp at the beginning of your script can accomplish what you need.
