NAME
     lpsched, lpshut, lpmove - start/stop the LP print service and move
     requests

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/lp/lpsched

     lpshut

     lpmove requests dest

     lpmove dest1 dest2

DESCRIPTION
     lpsched starts the LP print service; this can be done only by root or
     lp.

     lpshut shuts down the print service. All printers that are printing at
     the time lpshut is invoked will stop printing. When lpsched is started
     again, requests that were printing at the time a printer was shut down
     will be reprinted from the beginning.

     lpmove moves requests that were queued by lp between LP destinations.
     The first form of the lpmove command shown above (under SYNOPSIS)
     moves the named requests to the LP destination dest. requests are
     request-IDs as returned by lp. The second form of the lpmove command
     will attempt to move all requests for destination dest1 to destination
     dest2; lp will then reject any new requests for dest1.

     Note that when moving requests, lpmove never checks the acceptance
     status [see accept(1M)] of the new destination. Also, the request-IDs
     of the moved request are not changed, so that users can still find
     their requests. The lpmove command will not move requests that have
     options (content type, form required, and so on) that cannot be han-
     dled by the new destination.

     If a request was originally queued for a class or the special destina-
     tion any, and the first form of lpmove was used, the destination of
     the request will be changed to new-destination. A request thus
     affected will be printable only on new-destination and not on other
     members of the class or other acceptable printers if the original des-
     tination was any.
