Terry, thanks for your response.
Here is where I am at. The -c option for lp (according to man) says;
-c Make the lp command exit only after further access to any of the
input files is no longer required. The application can then
safely delete or modify the files without affecting the output
operation.
but the top part of printer.info says;
CopiesOpt "-#"
PrinterOpt "-P"
these options seem to be more lpr type options - looking in man for lpr, the
-c it non-related,
however a -s option says;
-s Use symbolic links. Usually files are copied to the spool direc-
tory. The -s option will use symlink(2) to link data files
rather than trying to copy them so large files can be printed.
This means the files should not be modified or removed until they
have been printed.
I tried changing PrinterOpt "-P" to PrinterOpt "-s -P" then I tried
PrinterOpt "-P lp -c" and then PrinterOpt "-P ps -c" .
All bring same result.
Does any of this jog your memory?
