Error Printing issue with AIX 7.2
Hello group.
I recently upgraded my company's server from an IBM P520 w/AIX 5.1 to a new Power 8 w/AIX 7.2. The old server used serial printing and we turned off the print queing feature. We did this because we have many custom forms and did not want a que/spooling situation where a print job would spool, and then immediately print after a custom form type job printed before we could change out the forms on the printer.

The new Power 8 server w/AIX 7.2 use IP configured printers and has a print spooler.

Is there a way to keep the system with the IP configured printers, but turn off the print queing/spooler function and have the printers function as if they were direct printers?

Thanks!

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

xpp

XPP(1)							      General Commands Manual							    XPP(1)

NAME

       xpp - X Printing Panel

SYNOPSIS

       xpp [options] [files] ...

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual page briefly documents the xpp command.  This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the origi-
       nal program does not have a manual page.

       xpp (the X Printing Panel) is a graphical interface to the CUPS printing system.  It can be used as a drop-in  replacement  for	lpr(1)	or
       lp(1) for programs that want to spool print jobs, or to print files directly from the command line.

OPTIONS

       The following options are recognized by xpp:

       -d destination

       -P destination
	    Prints files to the named destination queue.

       -# copies
	    Sets the number of copies to print from 1 to 100.

       -C name
	    Sets the job name.

       -J name
	    Sets the job name.

       -t name

       -T name
	    Sets the job name.

       -l
	    Specifies that the print file is already formatted for the destination and should be sent without filtering. This option is equivalent
	    to "-oraw".

       -o option
	    Sets a job option.

       -p
	    Specifies that the print file should be formatted with a shaded header with the date, time, job name, and page number. This option	is
	    equivalent to "-oprettyprint" and is only useful when printing text files.

       -r
	    Specifies that the named print files should be deleted after printing them.

       -q priority
	    Specify the priority of the print job (from 1 to 100).

COMPATIBILITY

       The "c", "d", "f", "g", "i", "m", "v", and "w" options are not supported by XPP and will produce a warning message if used.
