basically did:
create: test in the backends directory of cups (strangely enough cups
does not list
it when I run lpinfo -v?) called simple
simple:
#!/bin/bash
env >/tmp/simple.$$
exit 0
It seems to work on occasion, i.e., I sometimes get a file created but
repeated runs of sending a file results in nothing, that is, no file in
tmp appears.
I created a print queue like
lpadmin -E -p test -v 'simple://localhost:631/whatever' -m raw
but I keep getting Destination simple is not accepting jobs.
My objective is to actually see the environment variables.... not
actually do anything with
the printdata, yet...
