I am having problems getting a print jobs with options thru to a remote
system on a pyramid M1 SYSV. The remote is a Plexus P/60 SYSV.

If I use the following in Informix sql 2.10.03k it works okay:
report to pipe "cat | /usr/ucb/rsh <systemname> 'lp -d<printername>'"

What I need though, is to be able to send lp commands from the prompt
directly. I have set the 2 systems up on uucp and tried using the
uux as: cat <filename> | uux <systemname>/lp! -d<printername>; but,
it also isn't working right.

Should I be spooling the printfile on the local system first and at
the sametime having it spooled on the remote system? If anyone can
help I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Bob B.
