lp information

Swan_1 — Thu, 04 Jul 2002 17:05:42 GMT

Hi !
I'd like to know if there's a way to export/import all lp information on the system.
I was looking in the 2 directories:
/etc/lp
/var/spool/lp
and couldn't find the IP address of the printers and print servers anywhere.

any idea ?

Hi
In SAM (System Administration Manager) is a tool (Printers and Plotters->Lp Spooler->Save/Restore Spooler Configuration). Perhaps you can use this.

The information you can find in:
/etc/lp/interface
There are all queues you have defined.

Theres a section you can find infomation like this:

# xPORT, PERIPH, TEOJ are all configurable
xPORT=
PERIPH=192.168.1.13
# [ Follwing variable is added by suresha to fix the correct display of
# model script name in modifing queue on 10th March 2000
MODELSCRIPTNAME=net_ljx000
# End of change by suresha ]
DEVTYPE="PJL"
TEOJ="-w"
STATUSLOG=""
HPNPFOPT=
TOJMON=""

At keyword PERIPH=x.x.x.x you??l find the IP for the printer at this queue.
