RMPRINTER(1M)                   Printing Tools                   RMPRINTER(1M)



NAME
     rmprinter - remove a printer from the System V spooling system

SYNOPSIS
     rmprinter [-x <dest printer>] [-f] printer ...

DESCRIPTION
     rmprinter removes a printer from the System V printer spooling system.
     Normally, if print jobs are pending in the print queue, rmprinter will
     not remove the printer. If the -f flag is specified, the printer will be
     removed regardless of pending print jobs. In this case the pending print
     jobs will not be printed. If the -x flag is specified, any pending print
     jobs will be moved to dest printer and then the printer will be removed.

     More than one printer can be specified for removal at one time.  If an
     error occurs while removing one of the printers, the program will
     continue attempting to remove all printers specified but will exit with a
     status indicating an error.
