I hope you are putting this echo command in your printer interface file.
If such is the case it has to print all the parameters passed to the lpr
command,
to /tmp/mylog file.
If, you are not putting this echo statement in interface file, then
please add this line echo $*, to be the first line of the printer interface
file.
hope i am not wrong!
regards

Subject: printer backend and lpr
I am writing a printer backend script that needs to access all the
values passed by the lpr command
If in my backend script I do
echo $* >> /tmp/mylog I do not see all the values from the lpr command
e.g.
lpr -s -J "JOHNJOB" -P myqueue /etc/hosts
simply produces
/etc/hosts in /tmp/mylog
Is there anyway for my backend script to access all the lpr
parameters?
