We need to setup a specific Shell script for a print queue (fax) by setting up a custom .conv and/or .type. Can anyone send an example of how to set this up correctly? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sure, We setup a print queue called "fax" and install our script call "fax" as the SCO interface script. SCO dumps the print jobs through these "interface" scripts for automatic filtering. The SCO interface scripts are located in /usr/spool/lp/admins/interfaces. Is this enough of a description? If not let me know and I will try to include additional information.

Thanks,

Tom
