[Manuales]

Hi ..
the doubt in question is the following ..
I have sent information for being printed to a printer named mex5 if i run lpstat the answer is:
user1>lpstat mex5
(are showed several files for being printed)
........................................
........................................
........................................

/usr/sbin/rlpstat: Connection to MEX5.hola.com is down

queue where are locate the prints is named: mex11

i have reviewd the printer, allis o.k, i mean, printer is turned off, network interface card is working well , the cable is o.k.... etc...

I have choose other queue for redirect the new prints,
it is mex12 .. if i send information from aplication as usual , it can be printed right .. but . .. dobut here is ...
user1> lpstat mex5
answer is o.k.

how can i send files waiting for being into queue mex11 to new queue where are being sent new information for being printed ?

files waiting are referenced with above told:
(are showed several files for being printed)
........................................
........................................

Please let me know,i need to print the files that are located in queue where appears the message that is down.....
is that queue damage?
why appears :/usr/sbin/rlpstat: Connection to MEX5.hola.com is down

It sounds like you're looking for the lpalt command, specifically the "-d" option. From the man page:

"-ddest Requeue the request to the named printer or class dest"

I mean ....

i want to move some files located into queue number 1 to other queue, to que queue number 2 ... this is because they (information files) could not be printed into queue 1 but they are waiting for being prited ...

how can i move that files to other queue??

i do not want to loose that information :(

try the lpmove

1. Shut down the local lp spooler.
# lpshut

2. Move the print requests.
# lpmove

3. Restart the lp spooler.
# lpsched


hope this helps
