job id/#

[Guest_imported]

hello everyone.

anybody knows how to capture a print job ID or #? like in a script? or what aix parameters/constant that need to be capture.

 

[bjverzal]

lp -d [device] [file_to_print] |tee /tmp/printjob
cat /tmp/printjob |cut -f2 -d":"|awk {'print $1'}

You can leave off the awk pipe, as it only serves to remove the leading space in the print job number.
