 Unix Tip #4439- May  7, 2025
 
TRUE64 SENDING JOBS  
  
I use this script in  
tru64 unix -Alpha  
servers to send jobs to  
all printers.  
  
#!/bin/ksh  
# this script is sending  
# the required printing  
# job to all printers  
# already configured in  
# your system,  
  
cat /etc/printcap|grep "|" |cut -f 1 -d "|" | while read line anything  
do  
echo " sending file $1 to printer $line "  
echo " lpr -P$line " $1  
sleep 1  
echo " to stop printing, press ctrl+c"  
clear  
lpr -P$line $1  
done
