Hi there all..

I got 4 HP ux systems and 4 AIX systems here.
when I let LPSTAT make a report in aix with -W
I get a really nice report.

Example:
Queue Dev Status Job Files User PP % Blks Cp Rnk
-------------------- -------------- --------- ------ ------------------ ---------- ---- --- ----- --- ---
stapr008 hp@150 READY
stapr309 hp@150 READY
stapr156 hp@150 READY
stapr046 hp@150 READY
stapr196 hp@150 READY

Is there a way to get the same report look from AIX but than in my HP UX systems?
So I can make a nice script around it that will work on both the systems?

Thanks in advance!

>I get a really nice report.
Thats only because you have only 4 printer and have no trouble, you wait and see when things go wrong....

but just for the sake of comparison here is my output with your same command: v not w (unknown to my system...)

Code:

Just in case you believe HPUX are not as good AIX when it comes to printing, this box serves as OLTP and print server and FTP server and.... and it old and works fine (HPUX10.20...)

I do believe HPUX is really good
THe thing is I build a script for a service dest to release print jobs on a AIX system
that they can use really easy. But I also want to use the same script on the HPUX.
But than I need a report looking like the 1 I get from the command
lpstat -W (on AIX)
I am running HPUX 11iv1
My reports are same as VBE.
And I really cant use that on the same script..

I need to have the printers on the HPUX also be able to get released by the service desk from out of a script with options so they never get logged in a shell it self.

vbe · #5 (**permalink**) 09-09-2008

You wont get the same since "ready" in aix = " idle " in hpux...
If you want a unique script you would have to test the OS and send the good command...
But if I understand your request, you could do things the other way round:
filter on "disabled" ( common to both...)

vbe · #6 (**permalink**) 09-09-2008

I just noted your option -W (not w...) I dont have it on all aix 4.X.X... (?). my apologies
And looking through I dont see how you could get the same output...
If I understand well you have regularly jobs being blocked on you aix box which require someone to enable the printer again ( if not the spoooler itself) is that so?
If so welcome to the club!

draco · #7 (**permalink**) 09-10-2008

Ghehhe thanks..

Yea I made a script for the service desk withoud a shell they can use on the AIX servers to disable/enable and remove print jobs..
That works fine now. Just made with some help from here that they can never get in to the shell on that account.
But yea how to get the same results on the HPUX (the print thiny that is)
And yea all kind of jobs with the printers.
If you want a copy of the script let me know and I will post it.
I have to warn ya, the visual is dutch written at the moment.
But I can change it if you like to english.
