I am currently using lprng as a fax spooler with a popup gui using either
/dev/tty or X11 depending on the DISPLAY variable.
I have found that for the console version to work /dev/tty must have perms
of 666 and for the X11 xterm version to work lpr must NOT be suid root.
My question is should this work ?
I find it very convenient and easy to use and am in the process of cleanig
it up to work properly.
I have enclosed my 'rough' filter package (NEEDS A LOT OF WORK) and am
wondering if it is worthwhile persuing?
my printcap entries for the fax spool are -
# Host entries
fax
:lp=/dev/null
:mx=0
:mc=0
:sh
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
:filter=/usr/libexec/filters/fax/filter
:server
fax
:filter=/usr/libexec/filters/fax/prefilter
:lpr_bounce
:pass_env=DISPLAY,TERM
:client
#Remote
fax
:lp=fax@mobius
:filter=/usr/libexec/filters/fax/prefilter
:lpr_bounce
:pass_env=DISPLAY,TERM
:client
:force_localhost@
