printing multiple files

[Dorian Hunt]

I am running HP UX 10.2 and I am having a bit of a problem when trying to print
multiple files to a Fiery(tm) print server. You see, when I send one file by
typing something like:
lp -d /file
everything progresses smoothly but if I an in a directory with multiple files
that start with 'D', for example, and I type:
lp -d D*
only the first file in the list gets printed while the others are unfortunate
enough to vanish into the ethers. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

You could attempt it of the following form and revise the outputs:

lp -d FILENAME

PRINTERNAME= name of the printer
FILENAME= name of the file, you can use *

for example: lp -dLASERJET D*

This command will print all the files whose it name
begin with the D letter (DATE, DOS, Date) in the printer LASERJET.

Good luck!

hmmm..that is the syntax I have been trying to use but it seems that when I
type, say:

lp -d printername D*

in a directory with files

DA DB DC

only the first(DA) is printed, while the others vanish.

I may be missing some subtle point here.

In dire need of guidance,
