The syntax for our print job looks like:
lp -d PQ123 -t IDENTIFIER=JOBID123 /tmp/test.lp
JOBID123 identifies the queue on the IBM mainframe, and the "=" is
required.
RHEL 4 (and RHEL 3) Cups backend lpd is stripping off the "=" from the
job title before sending the data, replacing the "=" with "_". This is
preventing us from using these print queues.
As lp currently works, sanitize_title is initialized to true. If -o
sanitize_title is passed in the command, it executes the assignment:
sanitize_title = !value[0] || !strcasecmp(value, "on") ||
!strcasecmp(value, "yes") || !strcasecmp(value, "true");
This only serves to test if the user passed -o sanitize_title in the
affirmative, then it will set sanitize_title to true. There is not a way
to set it to false. One way to address this solution might be to follow
this assigment with its boolean opposite, for example:
cups-1.3.4/backend/lpd.c:
else if (!strcasecmp(name, "sanitize_title"))
{
/*
* Set sanitize title...
*/
sanitize_title = !value[0] || !strcasecmp(value, "on") ||
!strcasecmp(value, "yes") || !strcasecmp(value, "true");
sanitize_title = !value[0] || !strcasecmp(value, "off") ||
!strcasecmp(value, "no") || !strcasecmp(value, "false");
}
