Hi Viji, > Thanks for the input. I have never used sockets before. I need the luxury > of time to explore/learn/use it. Is it easy to learn? Can you give me a > lead to get some reading/reference material please? Sure. Here, I've written a sockets tutorial just for you! :) http://www.scottklement.com/rpg/socktut/ Whether it's easy is up to you. It's lower-level programming... you'll need to know sockets in order to know how to write programs that communicate over the internet. You'll then need to learn the internals of how LPR/LPD works in order to write that particular application. So, my guess is that there's a large learning curve. > You are right - the LPR only picks up input from a spoole file.... and > Qshell does not have what I need -- bummer The other alternative is to create a *USERASCII spooled file from the data you want to send to the Linux box. When a spooled file is *USERASCII the system doesn't try to interpret it, so you can write streams of data into it like you would a stream file and (kinda) ignore the record length. The problem with *USERASCII is that you end up with extra spaces at the end of the file, but maybe that doesn't matter to you.
