lpsched(1M) lpsched(1M)
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.
