How to move the print requests for one

printer to another incase the former is down.

I learned lpmove is there in Sun Solaris.

But I tried out and found lpmove is not

there in HP ,then how can we do that

with the help of any option to lpadmin??

Hi,

lpmove EXISTS on HP-UX.
Possibly you haven't found it.
Try with absolute path:
/usr/sbin/lpmove ...

See also 'man lpmove'.
Anther way to modify lp request is lpalt, see 'man lpalt'

Regards

Sundara, as stated lpmove does exist; I usually use lpalt.

example:

I have a print job at a printer named hp4v.
I first get the job number:

root:L1000>:lpstat -o
hp4v-3773 root priority 0 Jan 29 10:44
(standard input) 1332 bytes

then:
root:L1000>:lpalt hp4v-3773 -dhplaser4v
new request id is hplaser4v-3774

and the print job is now at the hplaser4v:

root:L1000>:lpalt hp4v-3773 -dhplaser4v
new request id is hplaser4v-3774
root:L1000>:lpstat -o
hplaser4v-3774 root priority 0 Jan 29 10:44
(standard input) 1332 bytes
for more detailed description of the lpalt command man it...hopes this helps...RD
