Manege printer queue

[Feljav]

How can I change the job's priority in the queue? I want to print a job so that it executed before the rest

Have a look at the 'lpalt' command.

# man lpalt

should tell you all you need to know.

I want to mve the job in the same queue. man lpalt don't said me anything. Another help

I would suggest you go back and look at the man page again.

Anyway, this should do what you want:

Step 1 -- find the request id of the print job. You do this by looking at the lpstat -o output for the printer.

Step 2 -- Use lpalt to reset the priority. In my example I am setting the priority to 7 for job hqis91q-3

# lpalt hqis91q-3 -p7

That's all there is to it.
