- the lpr command is supported, as is lprm and lpq (output is different than
- the real lpq) but they are just argument mappers which call the enq
- command with the proper arguments. they don't behave EXACTLY like the
- real lpr/lprm/lpq in all respects.
-
- read the docs on /etc/qconfig and enq and qdaemon.
- it may be necessary to modify the B+W code to behave slightly differently
- on aix but i suspect if you just define the printers using smit
- most everything will work.
-
- does B+W bwnfsd support the pcnfsd v2 protocol yet?
- if so the job becomes harder, since status and cancel are now supported
-
- used 2 b u could just print jobs, which is easier
