|---|
| 8 | # are plugged through a bidirectionnal parallel port. |

| 10 | # Read what Jem has to say about it : |
|---|
| 11 | |

| 12 | # It seems that network sockets or some other control specific method is the |
|---|
| 13 | # best way to query the printers. What I have is a bit (well, more than just |
|---|
| 14 | # a bit) of a brute forced solution. However, it has been working for us for |
|---|
| 15 | # about a month and only needs a bidirectional /dev/lp0 |
|---|
| 16 | |
|---|
| 17 | # I'm not at all happy about the sleep's I have in there. On occasion, there |
|---|
| 18 | # are missing page counts in the log but since the * next * user to print |
|---|
| 19 | # gets a good pagecount, the parser (a separate program) finds the |
|---|
| 20 | # responsibility. |
|---|
| 21 | # |
|---|
| 22 | # If you find a way to improve what I have, please let me know. Note that |
|---|
| 23 | # when this is invoked from printcap, it's expecting that the data coming it |
|---|
| 24 | # at stdin is a pre-formatted print job (the Windows machines do that |
|---|
| 25 | # anyway). |
