Move Print Request in Queue

We have a printer that broke that has several reports queued up to it. Is there a command to move these request to another printer queue for printing ??

Mike,

Try "lpalt (id) -d(newdest)"

The lpmove command can do it also.

Note that the lpsched must be shutdown for this to work. If you have a lot of jobs to move, write a for loop shell script that will do the moves.

Hi,

The requests for one printer can be moved to other printer via lpmove command also. In this case your faulty printer should be disabled & scheduler should be shut.

#disable prnflt
#lpshut
#lpmove prnflt prngood
#lpsched

( Where prnflt & prngood is the name of your Faulty & Good Printers respectively)

Your good printer should start printing if it is enabled.
