Hi:
This may be off topic.
I have an application that uses an iPAQ to take physical inventory. The
application works through the browser connecting via wi-fi to a Suse server
running Apache (Suse 9.3). I need to print a summary to one of the print
queues at the server, using a cgi written in C. I can write the printout to a
file, and I thought I might be able to use the system command like:
system ("lpr -Pprinter_name filename")
but Apache will not run the system command. My only solution I can think is
using a cron job that will print the files but maybe someone has a better
solution. Any ideas?
Thank you.
