Print queue problems

I am using AIX 5. Just swapped over an HP printer. The old printer was on a JetDirect box. The new printer connects directly to the network. Using the same IP address to print to, so the only alteration I made was to edit the etc/qconfig file to alter the port setting from 9103 to 9100. I can...

[Solved] remove all print jobs from a print queue

Hello, Sometimes i need to clear all the jobs of a print queue and it is really annoying to cancel one by one. Is there a way to cancel all print jobs for a specific print queue with a single command instead of cancelling them one by one? My AIX system is 5.3 Thank you for your attention

print queue behavior on HP-UX

We have a 3rd party print queue installed on HP-UX 11.11 that interfaces with a binary. Basically we use the lp command to send reports to the print queue, which then interfaces with a binary to capture those reports into a reporting warehouse. The problem lies in the way that HP uses a link to...

rlpq

rlpq(1) 						       UNIX Reference Manual							   rlpq(1)

NAME

       rlpq - remote line printer queue examination program

SYNOPSIS

       rlpq [-lmqNV] [-Hprinthost] [-Pprinter] [-Xproxyhost] [--debug] [--timeout=seconds] [--port=port] [ job # ... ] [ username ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       rlpq  uses  TCP/IP to examine print queues for printers anywhere on a network.  Unlike lpq, it does not require that the remote printers be
       explicitly known to the local system (traditionally through /etc/printcap), and thus is considerably more flexible and requires less admin-
       istration.

       rlpq  can  be  used  anywhere a traditional lpq might be used, and is backwards compatible with traditional BSD lpq.  If rlpq is invoked as
       lpq, it preserves all known lpq semantics.

       rlpq can be set up, installed, and used in the same two ways as rlpr(1) (that is, either  with  or  without  the  rlprd(8)  proxy  daemon).
       Please see rlpr(1) for details, and to see whether you will need to use the rlprd(8) proxy daemon or not.

OPTIONS

   Environment/Setup
       --debug
	      Print gobs of debugging information.

       -N, --no-bind
	      Don't  try  to bind to privileged port before connecting to lpd.	Please see the CONFIGURING A PROXY section in rlpr(1) for informa-
	      tion on use of this option.

       --port=number
	      Select an alternate port (instead of 7290) to connect to, if using rlprd.  Usually not needed.

       -H, --printhost=host
	      Select the host to print to (used with -P).

	      Instead of using -H, one can specify the hostname directly including it with the printer name with the printer@hostname syntax.

       -P, --printer=printername, --queue=printername
	      Select the printer to print to (used with -H).

       -X, --proxy=proxyhost, --proxyhost=proxyhost
	      Select the proxy host to use, if necessary.

       --timeout=seconds
	      Set the inactivity timer.  If the connection hangs for more than seconds seconds, then rlpq will give up.   Use  the  special  value
	      `-1' to wait forever.  Default timeout is 3 seconds.

       -V, --version
	      Print version and exit.

   Behavior
       -l, --long
	      Produce a more detailed report.

       -m, --mine
	      List only the jobs belonging to you.

       -q, --quiet, --silent
	      Quiet mode - stay quiet (except for fatal errors).  When this flag is set, rlpq's return value indicates whether there are any items
	      in the specified queue that meet the specified criteria (a return value of zero indicates success).

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The following environment variables are used by rlpq:

       RLPR_PRINTHOST
	      Specifies the default host's queue to examine.

       PRINTER or LPDEST
	      Specifies the default printer to check on the host.
	      First PRINTER is consulted, then LPDEST.

	      Note that one can also specify the host to examine by setting printer to be printer@hostname.  This may be more convenient than set-
	      ting RLPR_PRINTHOST, but will confuse the traditional BSD print commands.

       RLPR_PROXYHOST
	      Specifies a proxy host to use, if necessary.

FILES

       ~/.rlprrc	 Personal printer/host database
       /etc/hosts.lpd	 Host-based security on printhost
       /etc/hosts.equiv  Host-based security on printhost
       /etc/passwd	 Personal identification
       /etc/rlprrc	 System-wide printer/host database

BUGS 
/ LIMITATIONS
       Due to the dynamic nature of print queues, it is possible that the actual state of the queue may have changed between the time the snapshot
       was generated and the output was produced.
