Does anyone have an automated way in Tru64 to have information on backlogged print queues sent to you? I am trying to get the entire section from print queues with pending jobs in lpc stat output.

I am trying to extract the entire print queue section for only those with a backlog (entries in he spool area). I have tried to grep with the Tru64 special paragraph delimiter (-p), or awk between lines ('/something/,/something/'), or use multiline sed output, but I'm not quite there. Perl is not on this machine. From the lpc stat output example below, I would want lp1: plus the four lines below it as output. Any thoughts?

lp0:
       printer is on remote host freddy with name LPDPRT1
       queuing is enabled
       printing is enabled
       no entries
       no daemon present
lp1:
       printer is on remote host lp1 with name text
       queuing is enabled
       printing is enabled
       59 entries in spool area
       no daemon present
lp1pc:
       printer is on remote host lp1 with name raw
       queuing is enabled
       printing is enabled
       no entries
       no daemon present

Thanks!!
