lpmove(1M) lpmove(1M)
NAME
lpmove - move print requests
SYNOPSIS
lpmove requests dest
lpmove dest1 dest2
DESCRIPTION
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 attempts to move all
requests for destination dest1 to destination dest2; lp then
rejects 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 requests are not changed,
so users can still find their requests. The lpmove command
does not move requests that have options (such as content type
and form required) that cannot be handled by the new
destination.
If a request was originally queued for a class or the special
destination any, and the first form of lpmove was used, the
destination of the request is changed to new-destination. A
request thus affected is printable only on new-destination and
not on other members of the class or other acceptable printers
if the original destination was any.
