Many thanks to Bob Vance, Bill Thompson and Anil Rajapure
Following is the response from Bob Vance.
lpstat -s > /tmp/z
To combine the entire lines:
awk '{{x=$0}{while (getline){print x " " $0 ; if (getline){x=$0} } } }'
</tmp/z
To just get the desired fields. Instead of saving and combining the entire
record ($0), just save $3 from the first line and then combine it with $3
and $5 from the second line:
awk '{{x=$3}{while (getline){print x " " $3 " " $5 ; if (getline){x=$3} }
} }' </tmp/z
response from Bill Thompson.
#!/bin/sh
oldIFS="$IFS"
IFS="
"
for LINE in $(lpstat -s | grep -v default); do
echo $LINE | grep -q 'device for'
if (( $? == 0 )); then
PRINTER_NAME=$(echo $LINE | awk '{print $3}')
else
REMOTE_PRINTER_NAME=$(echo $LINE | awk '{print $3}')
DESTINATION=$(echo $LINE | awk '{print $5}')
... do something with $PRINTER_NAME, $REMOTE_PRINTER_NAME, &
$DESTINATION ...
fi
done
Rgds,

Hi Admins,
Following is the output of an lpstat -s command.
device for prt1: /dev/null
remote to: prt1 on x.x.x.x
device for prt2: /dev/null
remote to: prt2 on y.y.y.y
I would like to join the above output as follows
device for prt1: /dev/null remote to: prt1 on x.x.x.x
device for prt2: /dev/null remote to: prt2 on y.y.y.y
This is needed because i need to extract printer name ($3), remote printer
name($7) and printer destination($9) from the above to use in a script.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks & Rgds,
Dinesh.
