If I type
lpr file1 file2 file3 file4
then file1 gets printed 4 times instead of each of the individual
files getting printed once. I used the control-panel PrintTool to set
up the printcap file included below. I am printing to a printer
attached to a remote machine (SunOS sunflower 5.4 Generic_101945-27
sun4m sparc). When I print the files on the remote machine using lp
it works. Any clues on what is happening?
# /etc/printcap
#
# Please don't edit this file directly unless you know what you are doing!
# Be warned that the control-panel printtool requires a very strict format!
# Look at the printcap(5) man page for more info.
#
# This file can be edited with the printtool in the control-panel.
##PRINTTOOL3## REMOTE POSTSCRIPT 600x600 letter {} PostScript Default {}
