Package: rlpr
Version: 2.02-7
Severity: normal

If I try to send multiple files in a single job from rlpr to my
spoolhost that is running ppr, it fails. The same job succeeds if
sent using the Solaris or HP-UX print systems.

I guess Solaris succeeds because while it allows to submit multiple
files in one job (commandline), it actually sends each file separately.
HP-UX lp submits each file as a separate job also.

Perhaps rlpr could be modified to do likewise (ie. n jobs of 1 file
instead of the current 1 job of n files)?

Hi Jonathan,

sorry that your bug was not completely solved earlier.
Unfortunately the upstream of rlpr has abandoned the software, so the Debian package now is only in maintenance mode. It is very unlikely that new features will be added. 
Of cource patches are always welcome :-).

Therefore I am closing this bug now.

Best regards,
Thorsten
