HP-UX System Administrator's Guide: Overview

Move specified print requests from one queue to another without
having to stop the scheduler (Note: the print requests cannot be actively
printing when you move them)
•
• Change the priority of a queued print request
• Change the number of copies that will print (of the specified print
requests)
• Change the print options (for example, change portrait to landscape
printing) for queued print requests
• Change the title that will print on a banner page associated with
specified print requests
lpfence
Each print request has a priority (from 0 to 7) associated with it. The
lpfence command, which can only be used when the scheduler is not
running, specifies for a given printer the minimum priority a print request
must have in order to print on the specified printer.
cancel Cancels queued or printing print requests.
accept
Allows new print requests to be submitted to a print queue (associated
with a printer or class).
reject
Prohibits new print requests from being submitted to a print queue
(associated with a printer or class).
enable
Allows the printing of queued print requests to the specified printer.
disable
Inhibits the printing of queued print requests to the specified printer. If
the print queue associated with the printer is still accepting new requests
the requests will build up in the queue until the printer is again enabled.
If the queue is associated with a class and other printers in the class remain
enabled, disabling a specific printer only inhibits printing to that printer.
Print requests coming to the class queue will still print on the other active
printers in the class.
LP Spooler Integration with LDAP-UX
If you have configured your HP-UX system to use LDAP-UX Client Services, the daemon
ldapclientd initializes printer configurator services when it starts running.
Printer configurator services will periodically scan an LDAP Directory Server for printer
entries. If it finds any, it will extract the necessary information to compare against
printers currently configured in the local spooler (on the client system).
If the Printer Configurator Service discovers that new entries for printers have been
configured on the LDAP Directory Server, the printer configurator service will configure
those new printers into the local spooler automatically.
If Printer Configurator Service discovers printer configuration entries have been
removed from the LDAP Directory Server, the Printer Configurator Service will
automatically remove the corresponding entries from the local spooler.
