I am using NetBSD 2.0.2. I have foomatic-filters-3.0.2 installed.

I am following instructions from 
http://www.linuxprinting.org/lpd-doc.html

I am using foomatic-rip tool.

How can I get my native lpr/lpd to pass the options to foomatic-rip?

For example, stock LPD (for Linux?) can use:

   lpr -Jdocs

GNUlpr can use:

   lpr -o docs

LPRng can use:

  lp -Z docs

My /etc/printcap entry is:

brother|Brother HL-5150D duplexing laser printer:\
         :lp=/dev/lpa0: \
         :af=/usr/local/lib/BR5150_2.ppd: \
         if=/usr/pkg/bin/foomatic-rip: \
         sd=/var/spool/output/lpd/Brother_HL-5150D: \
         :mx#0:sh:

I can print to it.

I want to be able to pass foomatic-rip options to it.

The debugging says:

foomatic-rip version $Revision: 3.43.2.6 $ running...
called with arguments: '-w132', '-l66', '-i0', '-n', 'root', '-h', 
'my.host.name', '/usr/local/lib/BR5150_2.ppd'
Parsing PPD file ...

...

Spooler: lpd
Printer:
PPD file: /usr/local/lib/BR5150_2.ppd
Printer model: Brother HL-5150D BR-Script3
Options:
Job title:
File(s) to be printed:
<STDIN>


Anyone know about this?

How can I get the lpr -J option passed to foomatic-rip via lpd?

I have been looking at src/usr.sbin/lpr/lpd/printjob.c but it appears that 
the "jobname" is not used that way.
