- Our problem seems to the flip-side of the FLEX-IP problem described
- previously. We are trying to send large binary print files from
- Netware -> Unix LPD queue.
-
- lpr (the client side of lpd) can usually pass flags to the lpd server like
- -v or -l, telling it "this print stream contains binary data". When LPD gets
- this flag, it blocks the incoming print stream in 512k chunks. Without this
- flag, it tries to block for the record length, which it determines by
- a line ending with <LF>. Without the <LF> in the binary data, it hits
- hardcoded limits in the buffers defined by LPD, or system quotas for
- the process, etc. causing the print job to blow.
-
- So... my question:
-
- HOW DO YOU PASS THE -v FLAG THROUGH THE LPR_GWY????

- -Thanks for any info
