-
- Several files under /usr/spool/lp get modified, but the one you
- are probably most interested in is /usr/spool/lp/interface/<printername>.
-
- Template interface scripts, called models, are stored in /usr/spool/lp/model.
- Generally sam allows the user to pick one of these models. A copy of the
- chosen model is then stored in /usr/spool/lp/interface under the printer's
- name. This interface script is user-modifiable and can be editted to change
- default behavior and/or to add specific functions.
