This may be a very basic question but ......

I am playing with input filters for lpr and one thing I need
is the know how the "file name" is passed.  

I have a need for this info but just don't know where it 
comes from .

I've printed out all of the arguments while in the filter
and even though the users name and host name is passed, the 
file name doesn't seem to be passed.  

On other scripts  it appears that argument 9 is used for
file name.

What am I missing?

Any comments / help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
