lpmove(1M) System Administration Commands lpmove(1M)NAMElpmove - move print requests
SYNOPSISlpmove [request-ID] destination
lpmove source destination
DESCRIPTION
The lpmove command moves print requests queued by lp(1) or lpr(1B)
between destinations.
The first form of lpmove moves specific print requests (request-ID) to
a specific destination.
The second form of the lpmove command moves all print requests from one
destination (destination1) to another (destination2). This form of
lpmove also rejects new print requests for destination1.
lpmove moves individual requests or entire queues only within an
instance of a print service, not between a local and a remote queues or
local queues on different instances of a print service. Requests can
only be moved if the print service or protocol supports it. The LP
print server and IPP print protocol both support moving requests
between queues. The BSD print protocol does not.
When moving requests, lpmove does not check the acceptance status of
the destination to which the print requests are being moved (see
accept(1M)). lpmove does not move requests that have options (for exam‐
ple, content type or requiring a special form) that cannot be handled
by the new destination.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
request-ID The specific print request to be moved. Specify request-
ID as the identifier associated with a print request as
reported by lpstat. See lpstat(1).
destination The name of the printer or class of printers (see lpad‐
min(1M)) to which lpmove moves a specified print
request. Specify destination using atomic, URI-style
(scheme://endpoint), POSIX-style (server:destination)
syntax.
source The name of the destination from which lpmove moves all
print requests. Specify destination using atomic, URI-
style (scheme://endpoint), POSIX-style (server:destina‐
tion) syntax.
See printers.conf(4) for information regarding the naming conventions
for atomic names and standards(5) for information regarding POSIX.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
non-zero An error occurred.
