lpmove [request-ID] destination
lpmove source destination
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(1M)). 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.
The following operands are supported:
