lpmove -- move print requests

Synopsis

lpmove requests dest
lpmove dest1 dest2

Description

lpmove moves requests that were queued by lp between LP destinations. The first form of the lpmove command shown above (under ``Synopsis'') moves the named requests to the LP destination dest. Requests are request-IDs as returned by lp. The second form of the lpmove command attempts to move all requests for destination dest1 to destination dest2; lp then rejects any new requests for dest1.

Note that when moving requests, lpmove never checks the acceptance status (see accept(1M)) of the new destination. Also, the request-IDs of the moved requests are not changed, so users can still find their requests. The lpmove command does not move requests that have options (such as content type and form required) that cannot be handled by the new destination.

If a request was originally queued for a class or the special destination any, and the first form of lpmove was used, the destination of the request is changed to new-destination. A request thus affected is printable only on new-destination and not on other members of the class or other acceptable printers if the original destination was any.
