Don't be afraid to hack the lp code, or even to write your own version of lpsched. That's what UNIX(R) is all about -- writing your own programs and tweaking the distributed source code. In the meantime, you can print private files with lp < myfile or for FILE in myfile*; do lp < $FILE; done You can even write your own "lp" script or alias that inserts the "<" before running /usr/bin/lp. The only difficulty is that the name of the file won't appear on the banner page. -- Col. G. L. Sicherman gls@corona.att.COM
