remote printing to AIX

[Bob Brazner]

From an HP server, how can I remote print to an AIX server and have the -o options carried over:
Example: lp -d AIXdest -o option1 -o option2 somefile
In all my tests, the -o options do not appear in the remote AIX queue. Is there a special HP model script that will do this?

I've reposted this question to the "system administration" category. Please go there if you have an answer for me. Thanks. -Bob

The options available to remote printers (as opposed to NetWork) printer are extrememly limited. Do a man rlp and that will show you the options that work or you can examine the interface file in /var/spool/lp; you will find that only a very few options will work. What you can do, is create another print queue on the AIX host using the same physical printer and define a new set of default behaviors.
