lpmove(ADM)                   06 January 1993                    lpmove(ADM)


 Name

    lpmove - move print requests

 Syntax

    /usr/lib/lpmove requests dest

    /usr/lib/lpmove dest1 dest2

 Description

    lpmove moves requests that were queued by lp between LP destinations.

    The first form of the command moves the named requests to the LP destina-
    tion dest.  Requests are request-ids as returned by lp.

    The second form moves all requests for destination dest1 to destination
    dest2; lp will then reject any new requests for dest1.

 Limitations

    Note that when moving requests, lpmove never checks the acceptance status
    (see accept(ADM)) of the new destination.  Also, the request ID of the
    moved request is 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 handled by the new desti-
    nation.
