OK, here is the current status of this: I have two printers, both use /dev/lp0 and I have one of those switchboxes.
One of them is listed as "idle", the other is "stopped". To print to the latter, I need to go to http://localhost:631 and "start" this printer. This "stops" the other one. So I must do two things: flip the switch on the box and "start" the desired printer. A pain. Is there a script I can use to do this, preferably automatically when I select the printer on the print dialog or else a simple command line rather than starting a browzer, finding the place, entering a root password, etc.? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
