Post subject: lpoptions applying to all print jobs
Archived from groups: comp>sys>mac>printing (more info?)

I now have scripts that will pause/resume print queues,
hold and no-hold individual jobs, and do most of what
I want to control.

But, now I want to have ALL print jobs sent to a
particular queue to have:

lpoptions -o job-hold-until=hold

I have a script that toggles this from no-hold to
hold, and print jobs printed with lpr and lp indeed
behave as expected.

But, when the printer queue has hold set, and a job
is printed from FireFox or TextEdit, etc. the option
is not respected and is printed immediately.

Is there a way to make new print jobs to a particular
printer ALWAYS get the hold option no matter what
application prints it?

[Mac OS X Leopard]

Thanks, John
