We just got a pyramid M1E (mips) based system (sysv) at work and have it set up at work running informix 2.10.03K sql 4gl. It connected to a Plexus P/60 (m68000) (sysv) via ethernet tcp-ip. I am having no problem sending data to a printer on the Plexus in Informix using the following command (while on the pyramid):: report to pipe "cat |/usr/ucb/rsh <systemname> 'lp -d<printername>'" But, what I can't do it send OPTIONS to a printer on the Plexus side from the Pyramid? I've tried modifying/creating various interface script to handle #of copies and various printer control options (compress,etc.) and would appreciate any help ... I would like to end up with a script that can take an 'lp -d<printername>' command and send this, and any -o options on one system and send the command thru the ethernet to the <printername> on another system. Thanks for any help. Bob Beaulieu
