Direct Printing in AIX
Basically I have custom forms for several applications. I have 2 different invoice formats and each has a custom form, then I have 2 different statement formats, and 2 different delivery ticket formats. All in all, I have 6 custom forms.
When we eliminated spool printing on the old system that was direct connected the printer would "locked" so that when a custom print job was completed the user could change the forms back to the standard green bar paper before the next job was sent to the printer. Thus saving our custom forms from getting some one else's report printed onto it.
The new printer that is IP based and spooled just lines up the jobs and prints them as fast as the printer can handle the jobs and does not wait between jobs. Thus wasting custom forms...
My old server used serial direct connected printers. The old system used AIX ver 5.5 on an IBM P520 server and I had 2 each IBM6400 printers (serial connected). The new server is an IBM Power 8 with IBM 6400 printers (set up with Ethernet cards) and AIX ver 7.1.

lpstat(1) Apple Inc. lpstat(1)
NAME
lpstat - print cups status information
SYNOPSIS
lpstat [ -E ] [ -H ] [ -U username ] [ -h hostname[:port] ] [ -l ] [ -W which-jobs ] [ -a [ destination(s) ] ] [ -c [ class(es) ] ] [ -d ]
[ -o [ destination(s) ] ] [ -p [ printer(s) ] ] [ -r ] [ -R ] [ -s ] [ -t ] [ -u [ user(s) ] ] [ -v [ printer(s) ] ]
DESCRIPTION
lpstat displays status information about the current classes, jobs, and printers. When run with no arguments, lpstat will list jobs queued
by the current user.
OPTIONS
The lpstat command supports the following options:
-E
Forces encryption when connecting to the server.
-H
Shows the server hostname and port.
-R
Shows the ranking of print jobs.
-U username
Specifies an alternate username.
-W which-jobs
Specifies which jobs to show, completed or not-completed (the default). This option must appear before the -o option and/or any
printer names, otherwise the default (not-completed) value will be used in the request to the scheduler.
-a [printer(s)]
Shows the accepting state of printer queues. If no printers are specified then all printers are listed.
-c [class(es)]
Shows the printer classes and the printers that belong to them. If no classes are specified then all classes are listed.
-d
Shows the current default destination.
-h server[:port]
Specifies an alternate server.
-l
Shows a long listing of printers, classes, or jobs.
-o [destination(s)]
Shows the jobs queue on the specified destinations. If no destinations are specified all jobs are shown.
-p [printer(s)]
Shows the printers and whether or not they are enabled for printing. If no printers are specified then all printers are listed.
-r
Shows whether the CUPS server is running.
-s
Shows a status summary, including the default destination, a list of classes and their member printers, and a list of printers and
their associated devices. This is equivalent to using the "-d", "-c", and "-v" options.
-t
Shows all status information. This is equivalent to using the "-r", "-d", "-c", "-v", "-a", "-p", and "-o" options.
-u [user(s)]
Shows a list of print jobs queued by the specified users. If no users are specified, lists the jobs queued by the current user.
-v [printer(s)]
Shows the printers and what device they are attached to. If no printers are specified then all printers are listed.
COMPATIBILITY
Unlike the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to contain any printable character except SPACE, TAB, "/", and "#". Also,
printer and class names are not case-sensitive.
The "-h", "-E", "-U", and "-W" options are unique to CUPS.
The Solaris "-f", "-P", and "-S" options are silently ignored.
