Don't be afraid to hack the lp code, or even to write your own version
of lpsched. That's what UNIX(R) is all about -- writing your own
programs and tweaking the distributed source code.
In the meantime, you can print private files with
lp < myfile
or
for FILE in myfile*; do lp < $FILE; done
You can even write your own "lp" script or alias that inserts the "<"
before running /usr/bin/lp. The only difficulty is that the name of the
file won't appear on the banner page.
