How to compare result lpstat with hostsfile

Hi there all,

I got a long list of printers installed and a longer list of printers in my hosts file.
In the hosts file I got a even longer list of printers
in the hosts file I got the IP adress of all printers next to the printer name.

How can I get a script working to get the printers installed get from the hosts file the IP adresses of those printers so I can make a nice list with functions to enable / disable / kill que / and so on?

Yea I want to sort them out so I can find what printer is having problems.
I am working on HP UX 11iv1 Systems

NAME
lpstat - print cups status information SYNOPSIS
lpstat [ -E ] [ -a [ destination(s) ] ] [ -c [ class(es) ] [ -d ] [ -h server ] [ -l ] [ -o [ destination(s) ] ] [ -p [ printer(s) ] ] [ -r ] [ -R ] [ -s ] [ -t ] [ -u [ user(s) ] ] [ -v [ printer(s) ] [ -W [ which-jobs ] ] DESCRIPTION
lpstat displays status information about the current classes, jobs, and printers. When run with no arguments, lpstat will list jobs queued by the user. Other options include: -E Forces encryption when connecting to the server. -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 Specifies the CUPS server to communicate with. -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 or not the CUPS server is running. -R Shows the ranking of print jobs. -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 "-p" options. -t Shows all status information. This is equivalent to using the "-r", "-d", "-c", "-d", "-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. -W [which-jobs] Specifies which jobs to show, completed or not-completed (the default). COMPATIBILITY
Unlike the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to contain any printable character except SPACE and TAB. Also, printer and class names are not case-sensitive. The "-h" option is not a standard System V option. The Solaris "-f", "-P", and "-S" options are silently ignored. The "-W" option is unique to CUPS. SEE ALSO
