Print Queue

[Ryan Ma]

I would like to keep the record of print job including what is printed and who submitted the print job.

Is there any log of this?

As far as my knowledge goes, you can find who submitted print jobs before by checking /var/adm/lp/log file. It doesn't give us what was printed.

You can use -v or -a options with lpsched. -v gives more log while -a dumps ana.log file that is mainly for checking the printer response.

Ryan,

LP spooler can be started in logging more thru' SAM. As stated earlier it does not give what was printed.

A script can be written which has to be used for printing. The script can log the detail and then call the 'lp' command. ( not helpful if lp is directly used )

Hope this helps
