Printer Control

[Scott Nelson]

One way is to create a script that is called from /etc/profile, and in 
that script list the IP addresses for each PC (if you are static) and 
designate the printer with the LPDEST=printer, export LPDEST command.  
You could also do this by testing the user name if preferred.

Hope that helps,

Scott

Placing PFPRT in the user's .profile pointing to the applicable filePro printer did not work, resulting in the following  message:
