Reversing lpmove

Reversing lpmove

I used lpmove to move all jobs from printer a to printer b because a part for printer a was backordered. Printer a is now back online, but how can I move those jobs back? I try lpmove printer a printer a and it says destinations are identical. I can't do lpmove printer b printer a because printer b jobs should continue to go there. I'm searched the forums and don't see the answer and the man page doesn't mention reversing the command either.
Thanks in Advance!

Re: Reversing lpmove

Found my own answer - it's the accept command, although the man for accept or lpmove would never give you a clue that you can use it that way!
Thanks anyway,
Kim

Re: Reversing lpmove

I keep a bogus printer configured to move jobs to in cases like this. That way, you can move them back and forth without worring about interfering with legitimate print jobs on real printers.
