You can check thro SAM also.
Or Use command line to check.
Use lpstat command. Check man lpstat

Hi,

# lpstat -v

For each remote printer:

# nslookup printer_name

rgs,

lpstat -t

Depends on type of printer.

If it is a network printer ( e.g. sends print directly to IP addr on printer or jetdirect )

then you can
grep PERIPH= /etc/lp/interface/*

if it is remote printer using rlp to a remote print spooler then
lpstat -p should tell you the name of the remote queue

Hi Vinay,

SAM and lpstart can use to find the printer
