Re: [U2] Line Printer Control
We use this for a Universe driver... Maybe this is too much info for you...
And this was written by another gentleman for AIX, basic line printer
printing with System V printing.
All of the internals I do not fully understand without more reading and
refreshing my memory.

#
# Printer driver for UniVerse applications to record each print job.
#
#
# UniVerse sends options along with the print file. This script captures
# relevant information and creates a log entry for each print job.
#
#
# Modified to do the awk on all print streams
#
# $1 = login userid
# $2 = UniVerse queue jobnumber
# $3 = size of the file in bytes
# $4 = Print file name from UniVerse (from editor, not valid for SORT)
# $5 = UniVerse form queue number
# $6 = UniVerse spool queue name
# $7 = columns width from setptr
# $8 = rows on page from setptr
# $9 = a 1 looks like it might be the print mode
# $10 - $15 = 80 through 85 probably not used
