Printer enable,disable status

[devhariprasad]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to find out whether a printer is enabled or disabled in HP-UX.

[Jonathan Fife]

Hi,

The command "lpstat -p" should tell you for a specific printer, or just "lpstat -p" for a listing of all printers.

If you only want the "enabled/disabled" lines then pipe the output through "grep bled"

Hi,

lpstat -p

Rgds.

Thanks a lot

another option use SAM and look at the printers there

I have been doing this for ages, without thinking about it:

$ lpstat -p | grep dis

It shows all disabled printers, if any, without much effort.
