NAME

       lpmove - move print requests

SYNOPSIS

       lpmove [request-ID] destination

       lpmove source destination

DESCRIPTION

       The lpmove command moves print requests queued by lp(1) or lpr(1B) between destinations.

       The first form of lpmove moves specific print requests (request-ID) to a specific destination.

       The  second form of the lpmove command moves all print requests from one destination (destination1) to another (destination2). This form of
       lpmove also rejects new print requests for destination1.

       lpmove moves individual requests or entire queues only within an instance of a print service, not between a local and a	remote	queues	or
       local  queues  on  different  instances of a print service. Requests can only be moved if the print service or protocol supports it. The LP
       print server and IPP print protocol both support moving requests between queues. The BSD print protocol does not.

       When moving requests, lpmove does not check the acceptance status of the destination to which the  print  requests  are	being  moved  (see
       accept(1M)). lpmove does not move requests that have options (for example, content type or requiring a special form) that cannot be handled
       by the new destination.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       request-ID     The specific print request to be moved. Specify request-ID as the identifier associated with a print request as reported	by
		      lpstat. See lpstat(1).

       destination    The name of the printer or class of printers (see lpadmin(1M)) to which lpmove moves a specified print request. Specify des-
		      tination using atomic, URI-style (scheme://endpoint), POSIX-style (server:destination) syntax.

       source	      The name of the destination from which lpmove  moves  all  print	requests.  Specify  destination  using	atomic,  URI-style
		      (scheme://endpoint), POSIX-style (server:destination) syntax.

       See printers.conf(4) for information regarding the naming conventions for atomic names and standards(5) for information regarding POSIX.
