HP-UX lpstat output changes

Rodney.Ingram — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 14:55:38 GMT

Does anyone know why or when the “lpstat” output changed from output-sample-1 to out-sample-2 on HP-UX?

>>> Output-Sample-1
:!lpstat

------- ----- --------- --- ------------------ ---------- ---- -- ----- --- ---
PRTC123 hp@10 READY
PRTB123 hp@10 READY
PRTA123 hp@HP READY

>>> Output-Sample-2

Hi Rodney:

This appears to represent the difference between a simple 'lpstat' and 'lpstat -t'. See if you have aliased 'lpstat' to be 'lpstat -t':

# whence -v lpstat
lpstat is /usr/bin/lpstat

...is unaliased

# whence -v lpstat
lpstat is an alias for lpstat -t

...whould be shown if someone had done:

# alias lpstat="lpstat -t'

Regards!

I don't see this fancy smancy output with my lpstat -t.

># whence -v lpstat

This is probably going to point to: :-)
/fancy/smancy/bin/lpstat
