Script 2 intercepts the print command and runs another printer

interface script, in this case the printer “standard” using the

same options ($@) to redirect the output to a temporary file.

The script then opens an ftp session with the printer, sets

binary mode and sends the temporary file to the printer. The

temporary file is then removed.

Note:

The name of the model and interface directories used by your UNIX

system may differ from SCO.
