RE: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Printcap editing

["Hargus, Duane" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I am running SuSE 7.0 and I am just saying "lpr -Premote /etc/printcap", for
example.  I have an entry in printcap, but would like to know all options I
can set there.  Been using lprsetup or yast, but would like to know how to
modify the printer settings manually since I can't find a toll to do so.  I
tried adding the -Premote in the popup box in X, but it wouldn't print.

Printing from my X apps is pretty much like printing from the command
line, except you type the same stuff into a dialog box.

More details would be nice -- if it's Redhat, printtool is how I deal
with /etc/printcap.  Are you specifying something like EMAIL:PROTECTED
from the command line, or do you already have an entry in /etc/printcap
that you're pointing to?  Is this lpr or lprng?
