HI,
ux 11.11v1
Would anyone know of how I might findout who has been sending output to specific printers? Is there a log anywhere?
Easy points for someone ...
thanks, Maria.

Hi,

If you have 'lpsched' started with the -v option it will write a log to /var/adm/lp/log, which should help you.

Hi Maria,

"lpstat -t" will give you the current jobs. man lpstat for more options.

Actually lpstat -t gives all information about all printing facilities, printers, jobs, status. If you just want the the current jobs, lpstat -o or lpstat -u will give you this info, including the userid sending the print job. The /var/adm/lp/log file contains all the information on past lp jobs.

Thanks everyone. You all helped me along the way. grep printerid /var/adm/lp/log gave me the info I was after.
