lp Command 4.3.2 1

[UCF87]

Is there a way to indicate printer and queue in any AIX print command? I have to specify the remote printer and a unique queue in the same command.

I need something like this:
lp -d{printer} -q{uniquequeue} /path/filename

Hi
I think there are no independent flags for both print queue/print device in the same command.
But The following syntax may serve your purpose.

$lp -dlp0:lpd /path/file
where lp0 is print queue and lpd is the print device.
Generally in most of the cases the printer name doesn't matter..print queue matters and can be the same...

simply one case use simplest syntax for printing as'
$lp -d <print_queue_name> /path/file

Also you can use general purpose utility(back end)such as:
$enq -P lp0:lpd /path/file .

try to set Environenment Variable LPDEST :

export LPDEST=<queue>

or you can use enq command and flag -P, which defines Queue and device (-P Queueevice).
