Hostname of remote printer server

[Dunja]

In which file is the remote hostname stored for a printer queue configured to that remote host.

Have a nice day.

Hi,

the hostname for a remote printer queue is stored in the file:
/var/spool/lp/outputq
Sorry the file has a binary structure.
You can display something with strings.
If you want to change a hostname,in my thought, you have to remove and recreate the remote printer.

Just another hint:

If you have a networked based printer (JetDirect) the hostname is stored in the interface script in the variable PERIPH.
Interface scripts are stored in
/var/spool/lp/interface
and have the name of the queue.
If PERPIH is set to nothing (PERIPH=)
then the hostname defaults to the queue name.

Greetings

It's depend on the name of your printer's spooler. For example your spooler's name is print49,then the filename is linked to spool directory is /var/spool/lp/request/print49

Hope this point to your question
