printcap printer -> email account script/filter help
the basics: Tru64 unix 5.1b on alpha
have nail(now mailx), mail, and mailx(old version) available.

I'm trying to make a print filter to take a file that is printed to a specific printer in my printcap file and email it.

I put this in my printcap:

emailprinter:\
:lp=/dev/null:sh:mx#0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/emailprinter:\
:lf=/var/log/emailprinter:\
if=/usr/shared/printfilter/emailprinter.filter:

I need to make the emailprinter.filter script to take the input from:
lp -d emailprinter /some/file.txt and send it to an email address.


any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

cp382dof

cp382dof(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       cp382dof(8)

NAME

       cp382dof - Filter for Traditional Chinese CP382 printer controller

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lbin/cp382dof [-c] [-h host] [-i indent] [-l length] [-L locale] [-n login] [-w width] [accounting_file]

OPTIONS

       Prints  control	characters.   Specifies  the host name of the job owner.  Specifies the amount of indentation. The default value is no (no
       indentation).  Specifies the page length in lines. The default value is 66.  Specifies the printer codeset. This  value	must  be  a  valid
       locale  name.  The  default  value is zh_TW.dechanyu.  Specifies the login name of the job owner. This name can contain Chinese characters.
       Specifies the page width in columns. The default value is 132.

OPERANDS

       Specifies the file to record accounting information. This file can contain Chinese characters.

DESCRIPTION

       The cp382dof filter is used to filter text data destined for the CP382 printer controller. The filter handles the  device  dependencies	of
       the  printers  and  performs accounting functions. At the time of completion for each print job, accounting records are written to the file
       specified by the af field of the printer's entry in /etc/printcap.

       The filter can handle plain ASCII and Chinese text files and files that have been preprocessed by nroff.  The  cp382dof	filter	translates
       nroff control sequences for underlining, superscripting, and subscripting into the proper CP382 control sequences.

       The  cp382dof  filter  can be the specified filter in both the of and the if fields in the /etc/printcap file. For further information, see
       printcap(4).

       The CP382-D printer can be configured to use the software on-demand loading (SoftODL) mechanism to print  user-defined  characters  (UDCs).
       Refer to i18n_printing(5) for more details on SoftODL.

       To enable SoftODL printing, you should set the ys value in /etc/printcap to 800.  You can also set the default SoftODL database, style, and
       size by using the odldb and odlstyle options in the ya value.  The yt value, if set, should be fifo.  Refer to printcap(4) for  information
       on setting these values.

NOTES

       The  lpr  command  supports a number of options and associated options to specify localization features supported by various printers.  The
       lpr(1) reference page provides a complete list of these options and options.  The following ones can be specified  for  the  CP382  printer
       controller: To specify the SoftODL database path To specify SoftODL font style and size

RESTRICTIONS

       The  cp382dof  filter always assumes that 4-byte characters are printed without leading code. The printer hardware should be set as such to
       avoid any formatting problems.

ERRORS

       The lf field (default value is /dev/null) in the /etc/printcap file specifies the name of the error logging file.
