No that's $1, but this script has &1 meaning file descriptor 1 ( standard output )The '<' is the input redirection character and the &1 is the first parameter passed into the shell script. It looks like this is trying to pass the first parameter passed into the shell script into the slp -c132 -i0 -n command.
should be used as a duplicate input. I've never used this but i suspect it's
just a way to kill any output from slp if any so it doesn't appear in the printout.
cat - just forwards standard input to standard output.

I need help understanding what the "<&1" does and how it all works with "cat -".
That way, perhaps we could get the printer to work as a shared network device.
Suggestions would be appreciated.
