Check printer queue on Windows printer server

Hello

Let me first give a small overview of the setup. All printers are connected to Windows 2000 servers. There are a lot of UNIX (AIX & HP-UX) servers as well which have SAP running.

I'm working on a script to add printers to a specified SAP instance. I want to verify the user input (to check if the given printer exists on the given printer server). in Windows you can use lpq. I tried with lpq & lpstat on AIX but they only seem to work for printers already added. Creating a fake printer on the printer server isn't an option either, the queue is just being created without errors.

Does anyone have any ideas if it's possible?



Kind regards

NAME
xprehashprinterlist - Recomputes the list of available printers. SYNOPSIS
xprehashprinterlist [-v] [-h] DESCRIPTION
xprehashprinterlist causes all Xprint servers to recompute (update) their lists of available printers, and update the attributes for the printers. The intended usage of this tool is that a system administrator can run it after changing the printer topology. OPTIONS
-v generate verbose output -h | -? print usage ENVIRONMENT
XPSERVERLIST ${XPSERVERLIST} must be set, identifying the available Xprint servers. See Xprint(7) for more details. EXAMPLES
Update the list of available printers % xprehashprinterlist -v would print: Rehashing printer list on server 'meridian:34' NOTES
xprehashprinterlist rehashes all printer lists of all print servers. Alternatively xset rehashprinterlist may be used to rehash only the list of printers in one print server. SEE ALSO
