Managing print jobs Redirecting print jobs
4.4 Redirecting print jobs
The xprdir command can be used to redirect print jobs assigned to a specific
printer to another printer, but you can only redirect the entire print queue of a
printer, not individual print jobs. This redirection is permanent, i.e. it also applies
to all subsequent jobs for the original printer, and must be canceled explicitly.
Please note that xprdir is provided for compatibility purpose only. You should
use xpchange -dev -rd instead.
xprdir assigns to the original printer the status NOT_ACTIVE and activates the
printer which is to be the new destination. The active job on the original printer
is handled as specified with the -j option by the user. Then the entire print
queue is redirected from the old printer to the new destination, all the print jobs
keeping their original status.
The xprdir command can be used by every user, no specific privileges
are required. If the Xprint V7.0 administrator wants to restrict its use,
he/she can protect the command by means of access rights and user
definitions.
● To redirect the print jobs of one printer to another, enter the following
command:
xprdir -d old_destination -r new_destination [options]
-d old_destination
specifies the printer whose job queue is to be redirected to another
printer.
-r new_destination
specifies the printer to which the job queue of the original printer is to
be redirected.
The device names specified with -d and -r must not be identical.
For options the following options are possible:
-j job_handling
requests Xprint V7.0 to perform an action on the active job on the
original device. The following values can be specified for job_handling:
DELETE
The active job is to be deleted.
