Thanks very much Kevin, you got me thinking more clearly about the whole
process. After making the changes according to your referenced note I
kept getting the unknown printer error as below:
OUTPUT FROM WHAT FILE: PATIENT ALLERGIES//
SORT BY: NUMBER//
START WITH NUMBER: FIRST//
FIRST PRINT FIELD: .01 PATIENT
THEN PRINT FIELD:
Heading (S/C): PATIENT ALLERGIES LIST Replace
DEVICE: test TEST-LINUX-PRINTER HOME LAN
Do you want your output QUEUED? NO// (NO)
lpr: HL1240: unknown printer
I installed the cups bsd compatibility (which has fixed many other
problems that I have had with cups printing configurations in the past)
# apt-get install cupsys-bsd
And it worked! Now I can go to town on the huge number of options that
VistA and Cups together allow for controlling the print jobs.
Outstanding thank you so much.
I guess there was some dependency in the lp system that was missing? Any
one else experiencing this?

the entries for the device file including the
following:
PRE-OPEN EXECUTE: DO SETJOB^ZZZPRNTR(.IO) ;Note:
Change IO (output file)
What should the output file be? Is that the spool
directory for the
client, the URI of the printer or the type of file
i.e. PDF/PS
I have setup CUPS on one of the LAN servers here (in
this case running
under FreeBSD 4.8) and can print from all the Linux
workstations as well
as from a Windows 2000 Pro box. I think I am almost
there in printing
from within VistA/GT.M/Debian. This is what I have
so far: (the printer
is a Brother 1240 laser)
OUTPUT FROM WHAT FILE: DEVICE//

Thank you.
