Dear Larry, Welcome to the Real World. This is a simple "Bug" and you need make an downgrade of the lpr command, or may be wait for a patch.
15 years ago, I was Use XFS from the SGI, in a Red Hat 6.2, and then go up to the 7.2 "Enigma" Red Hat Version, nothing compare to the old school. Now, the SL 5.5 include like "an experimental", the XFS... check about this... http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/ Best Regards, Pablo Cavero System Engineer. 568-920 9509 2010/8/11 Larry Linder <larry.lin...@micro-controls.com> > A script that has worked for 12 years no longer works. > It worked fine with SL5.4 Redhat 6 7.1 7.3 from 10 yeas ago, works with > susi > 9.2. etc. > This is almost as old as unix itself. > LPD & LPR > "lpr" does not recognize the -o cpi=10.
