I am an amateur. Keep this in mind. man lpr says that lpr will use the environmental variable PRINTER as the queue to use unless overridden by a -P option with the lpr commmand. So, could you make a bashrc script or some such so that each time a user logs on this script runs: #!/bin/bash case `hostname` in lab001* ) PRINTER="printer1";export $PRINTER;; lab002* ) PRINTER="printer2";export $PRINTER;; esac I haven't tried any of this out.
