lpmove
lpmove(1M) System Administration Commands lpmove(1M)
NAME
lpmove - move print requests
SYNOPSIS
lpmove [request-ID] destination
lpmove destination1 destination2
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 between local printers or between remote printers, not between a local and a remote
printer. You can move only requests that were not previously transferred to the server.
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
destination using atomic, POSIX-style (server:destination) syntax.
destination1 The name of the destination from which lpmove moves all print requests. Specify destination using atomic, POSIX-style
(server:destination) syntax.
destination2 The name of the destination to which lpmove moves all print requests. Specify destination using atomic, 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.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
non-zero An error occurred.
FILES
/var/spool/print/* LP print queue.
