NAME
xkspool - command-line printer queue creation/removal
SYNOPSIS
xkspool [ -createq qname ] -O object [ -Z zone ]
xkspool-deleteq qname
xkspool-rescript
DESCRIPTION
The program xkspool is a command-line interface to a few of
the xktalk (1) GUI's printer maintenance duties. It can
create and delete printers, or can updated printer queue
scripts. Only the Super-User (root) may use this program.
When run with the -O option, a printer queue will be created
to the printer object in the default zone if no -Z option is
specified. The name of the queue can be supplied with the
-createq option, but qname only overrides a queue name that
would have been made from the object name. The final queue
name may still be different if qname is not unique in the
printing system.
With the -deleteq option, the qname printer queue is
deleted, if it's possible to do so.
All out-of-date printer queue scripts (for existing queues)
may be updated with the -rescript option. A queue's script
is out of date if the current version being created is
higher than the ``SV'' key in the print queue's
/etc/printcap entry. The ``SV'' key in /etc/printcap is NOT
updated when scripts are updated in this way.
DIAGNOSTICS
xkspool exits with 0 status when the operation succeeds. It
exits with a non-zero status and produces one of many error
messages to standard error when something fails.
