how to get "lp -m" to send email as documented
Can someone help me configure so that the command lp -m {filename} will send email once the print job gets completed?
Once I have this working, I want to discover how to alter defaults to do this for all print jobs both command line and GUI generated. The command lp is part of the CUPS suite. According to the man-page: Code:

I found a v_e_r_y b_r_i_e_f item buried (from my perspective) on the CUPS web site.
Code:

More Follow-Up
So I need some software to provide at least send-only email from my workstation before I can enable email notification of print job completion. It seems that I have the choices of sendmail, exim, and qmail.
As I look at installation and configuration of these, it seems that my workstation requires a fully qualified domain name. That would be something like: Code:
someHost.someDomain Since private networks do not route, my private domain is just that -- private. Can I select any jibberish that makes sense to me when I name this private domain? Are there any conventions for such domain names? Can someone confirm that I'm following the right bread crumbs here? ~~~ 0;-/ Dan |
