Experts,

Please excuse me . I am once again back

with a Simple question.

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??

Help me

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
