I've recently changed the type of some of our laser printers from LaserWriter to LaserSpooler, so that papif and lwsrv can see the printers, but a Mac cannot. I would like the cap program 'atlooklws' to be able to get a status report from those printers as well. I could modify the code to look for LS instead of LW, but then I won't be able to see regular LaserWriters. What I would like to do is set up a wildcard, so the program looks for the equivelent of "Laser*", resulting in both LaserWriter and LaserSpooler (or whatever suffix I want to give it) being found. It seems that the characters '=' and '*' are already reserved as some type of global wildcards, ie. '=:=' means find all devices of all types. Is there a similar syntax for what I want to do?
