a) is now done. As a side effect, I now have the following support:
lpr over TCP - AKA RFC 1179:
connect to port 515, use RFC1179 protocol
lp=lpr://host[:515]/printer?options
options=bk (Berkeley Kompatible - restricted Control file format,
options,
etc.)
lpr over SSL:
lp=lprs://host[:515]/printer?options
lp=lpr://host[:515]/printer?auth=ssl
(note the reuse of port 515)
lpr over KRB4:
lp=lprk4://host[:515]/printer?options
lp=lpr://host[:515]/printer?auth=krb4
(note the reuse of port 515)
lpr over KRB5:
lp=lprk5://host[:515]/printer?options
lp=lpr://host[:515]/printer?auth=krb5
(note the reuse of port 515)
lpr + pgp:
lp=lpr://host[:515]/printer?auth=pgp
lpr + md5:
lp=lpr://host[:515]/printer?auth=md5
lprng: sends the new 'job ticket' AKA hold file rather than the control
file.
lp=lprng://host[:515]/printer
lp=lprngs://host[:515]/printer
lp=lprngk4://host[:515]/printer
lp=lprngk5://host[:515]/printer
and
lp=lprng://host[:515]/printer?auth=[ssl,krb4,krb5,pgp,md5]
I am now updating the documentation and the Printing Cookbook to reflect
this.
