Here is the solution I adopted: Just editing the local site interface script (/usr/spool/lp/interface/*) 1. Change remote shell printing from "rsh lp@host lp " to "rsh lp@host lp -c" (So printing machine put a copy into its own spooler) 2. Add a line after printing like this: "rsh lp@host rm /usr/tmp/*" And it works just fine. NB. When you read the interface script (/usr/spool/lp/interface/*), you will have a good idea of what to do.
