NAME
lpmove - move print requests
SYNOPSIS
lpmove [
request-ID]
destination lpmove source destinationDESCRIPTION
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(8)).
lpmove does not move requests that have options (for example, 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
lpadmin(8)) 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:destination) syntax.
See

atomic names and
standards(7) for information regarding POSIX.
