I wrote this to automatize it: # try all PPDs on the system: # # $ test-ppd **/*.ppd # # and, in another pane: # # $ watch -t -n 0.1 lpstat -p test-ppd () { local -a ppds ppds=($@) local test_file=~/TEST-TEXT-FILE local printer=laser for p in $ppds; do sudo lpadmin -p $printer -E -P $p doprint $test_file sleep 7 done } # [1] How does that differ from what you describe? Is the above enough to find out?
