Script to move mulitple print queue entries

Does anyone have a script that will enable one to move multiple print entries from one printer to another? Thanks.

Hi.

This depends on what you are trying to achieve.

Usually in the form:

lpshut
#if you want to only move some of the jobs
for jobs in `lpstat | somefilter`
do
lpmove $jobs
done
#to move the whole print queue instead of above
lpmove
#if you want the old printq to continue accepting requests
accept
#restart scheduler
lpsched
