Now to recreate the printers deleted!!!
My function to recreate the printers i have as follows:
Code:
f_Create()
{
if [ -z "$printer" ]; then
echo "\n\t $printer does not exists"
return 1
else
for P in $printer; do
echo "\n\t Adding printers !!!!"
echo "Enter Printer Name: \c"
read printer
echo "Enter IP Address : \c"
read ip
echo "Enter Location : \c"
read loc
echo "Enter Description : \c"
read desc
echo "Enter Filter : \c"
read filt
echo "Enter Port : \c"
read port
echo "Enter Driver : \c"
read driv
$BIN/lpadmin -p "$printer" -E -D "$desc" -L "$loc" -i /u1/cups/mac/"$filt"_fi
lter -v "$driv"://"$ip":"$port"
done
echo "\n\t Printer $printer created"
fi
}
The reason for so many variables, is because we have printers with different drivers, ports,descriptions,locations and filters.
or would it be possible to re-create just these three printers with the info we have in diffs.txt
Code:
device for 0117bd1: lpd://172.25.29.60:515
device for 2201bl7: socket://172.25.11.170:9100
device for 5001bl1: lpd://172.25.11.203:515
