lpmove

[Alex Ferreira]

Dear all,

Have a printer that is down and had to move what was in the queue for the broken printer.. What I did was :

lpshut
lpmove dest1 dest2
lpsched

Now, the broken printer is fixed, and when I try to print to it, guess what? It comes up with not accepting requests. dest1 queue moved to dest2 queue.

What can I do to alter the change.

Thanks heaps in advance...BTW, I still want dest2 printing...

/usr/bin/enable "test1"
/usr/sbin/accept "test1"

Hi

the trick is:
$ accept dest1
destination "dest1" now accepting requests

see man lpmove(1m):
As a side effect, lp(1) rejects requests for dest1.
