A simple question for our SLUG bash wizards...
I'm hacking a vendors ancient COBOL program output to print using lpr
(via cups) in Fedora.
Given a program output similar to that produced by "cat textfile.txt >"
If I append the sting "/dev/ttyS01" it prints to the serial port. But I
want to print using the cups spooler. I can't using lpr, because the
pipe metacharacter won't function.
So, how can I print the stdout via lpr under cups, not using a pipe?
Note that I can't modify the command shown in quotes, I can only append
to it, and there's a 15 character field limit to boot.
Ideas, anyone?
