I use a bash script, to print in the background:

#Bash script
cat < $1 > /dev/lp1 &

call this file lp, chmod +x lp, and use...
>lp foo

I had hoped to just have an alias for this, but bash wants
to execute $1, instead of just useing(sp???) it for a data file.

Another Newbie Question!! :D

How can I make this script a Bash Alias???
