[Casper] How to send Unix commands via Casper

[John Brenner]

Yes Quark does not like cups/gimp drivers and therefore caused issues with
us.  Using lpadmin commands like this
lpadmin -p "tmb_prt44" -L "Richo 9100" -D "tmb_prt44" -E -v
socket://tmbprt44.stp.mrll.com -P
"/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/RICOH Aficio SP 9100DN"
-o Finisher=FinVICTORIA

Worked much better with fewer printing issues down the road.  You can
retrieve the options of a specific PPD by using the lpoptions command. The
options are PPD specific consequently you cant use the same command with
different PPDs and get the results you desire.    This is especially true
when using printers from different vendors.  HP is probably the most
consistent as they do driver dev in house.
