People have mentioned that they already have hyphens in
printer names. How about if I use a / instead? Eg:
lpr -Pmyptr/h
lpr -Pmyptr/m
Would anyone have slashes in a printer name? Any other
suggestions also welcome... Just looking for a good way
for samba (WinXX) users to select -h or -m options when
their jobs go thru our unix print servers.
