Question lpstat
Hi,

I have been using Hp so far and I am a new user to Solaris..

well, in HP Unix, if I type 'lpstat' if gives me the list of printers connected to the network and their status.. but in solaris it only gives the details if there is any job on the queue. I just want to know what is the equivalent of the lpstat from HP to Solaris..

Thanks,
sskb

try lpstat -p
It will give you a list of printers and their status

Did you try lpstat -t ?

Go back to your HP system and try "/usr/bin/lpstat". I'll bet that you get behavior pretty much like the Sun version. You must have an alias or something for lpstat on the HP. You need to duplicate your environment on the Sun.
