Moving a Print Job to Another Print Queue (qmov Command)
After you have sent a print job to a print queue, you may want to move the print job to
another print queue. You can move it with the Web-based System Manager fast path or with
the qmov or smit commands.
Note: You cannot move a remote print job to another print queue.
Prerequisite
The printer must be physically attached to your system.
Web-based System Manager Fast Path
To move a print job to another queue using the Web-based System Manager fast path, type:
wsm printers
In the Print Queues container, select the print job, then use the menus to move it from one
print queue to another.
qmov Command
The qmov command moves a print job to another print queue. You can either move a
particular print job, or you can move all the print jobs on a specified print queue or all the
print jobs sent by a specified user. To determine the print job number, type the qchk
command.
The basic format of the qmov command is:
qmov –mNewQueue {[ –#JobNumber ] [ –PQueue ] [ –uUser ]}
See the qmov command in the AIX Commands Reference for the exact syntax.
For example, to move job number 280 to print queue hp2, type:
qmov –mhp2 –#280
For example, to move all print jobs on print queue hp4D to print queue hp2, type:
qmov –mhp2 –Php4D
smit Command
To move a print job using SMIT, type:
smit qmov
