pr and lpr combination command

[Han Tin]

Hi Alfred,
This is the shell scripts, I used in HP-UX.

#!/usr/bin/ksh
# file : proglist
# desc : pr formatting and hp laser portrait condense code
# by   : Han Tin
# usage: proglist <file1> ... <filen> | lp -d <printer>
# usage: <program> | proglist | lp -d <printer>
# ex.  : proglist `pwd`/file1 `pwd`/file2 | lp -d mis_laser
#      : ls -al | proglist | lp -d mis_laser
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
echo "^[&k2S^[&l5C\c"
(
if [ "$#" -eq 0 ]
then
  cat | pr -n -o20 -w100 -l98 -f $1
else
  pr -n -o20 -w100 -l98 -f "$@"
fi
) | crlf


usage:
proglist <file1> ... <filen> | lp -d <printer>


According to yours, I create a file called  prt.

#!/bin/sh
# prt
pr -n -o20 -w100 -l98 -f $1 | lpr -d picshp

It gave me the following message. What need to be done. Your help is
appreciated in advance.

$ prt prt|lp -dpicshp
Warning - Cannot open file 'picshp', No such file or directory
picshp: nothing to print
