Retrieving printer queue properties
Hi everyone!
I've been stuck with a job I'm struggling with. A while back we loaded a large number of printer queues into our AIX environment through smit. Since then some of the details have gone astray, including full details on the older printer queues. I need to gather together details on all printers in our AIX system, and though I know they have to be somewhere, I'm having trouble finding certain details. I need to get the printer port, driver, queue type (HP JetDirect, etc) and paper orientation (portrait, landscape). I'm trying to script this and turn out a csv file. I can handle all of that myself, but I'm struggling to find sources for all this data. Any help anyone can providewould be greatly appreciated.
