I don't know if it's changed much (I use potato) but I would
try something like this:
> lp|faculty|Faculty 360:\
:lpd_bounce\
:lp=faculty@192.168.100.1\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/faculty\
:sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\
:if=/etc/magicfilter/psonly600-filter:\
:af=/var/log/lp-acct\
:lf=/var/log/lp-errs
Add the lpd_bounce and use lp instead of rm and rp. This is
supposed to be the "new" way to do it. You can use lpd_bounce
or lpr_bounce and either should work. I'm a little iffy about
using "faculty" for the printer name at the Textronix. Most of
those kind of things use preset names like "raw" (hp), "PASSTHRU"
(Emulex), lp (xerox). (I'm talking about the :lp=... name or the
:rp=... name). Maybe some don't care what you call them.
