Description fossum 1999-12-21 19:01:17 UTC 
The latest version of lpd does not pass along the job name to the
remote printer.  Previous versions used the filename being printed
as the job name, so that

	lpr -Premote-printer somefile

would pass "somefile" as the job name to the remote printer.  This
no longer works.  Even using the -J switch on the lpr line does not
pass along a job name to the remote printer.  Other job-related info
(the Classification and Literal values) seem to be sent properly.

lpd does seem to propagate the filename on the 'N...' line in the control
file on the remote system, but not the 'J...' line.  What exactly is the
standard behavior?
