Moving a Print Job to Another Print Queue (qmov Command)

After you have sent a print job to a print queue, you might want to move the print job to another print queue. You can move it with the qmov Command or the smit Command.

Prerequisites

qmov Command

The qmov moves a print job to another print queue. You can either move a particular print job, or you can move all the print jobs on a specified print queue or all the print jobs sent by a specified user. To determine the print job number, type the qchk command.

The basic format of the qmov command is:

qmov
-m
NewQueue {[ -#JobNumber ] [ -PQueue ] [ -uUser ]} 

See the qmov command in the AIX 5L Version 5.1 Commands Reference for the exact syntax.

For example, to move job number 280 to print queue hp2, type:

qmov -mhp2 -#280

For example, to move all print jobs on print queue hp4D to print queue hp2, type:

qmov -mhp2 -Php4D

smit Command

To move a print job using SMIT, type:

smit qmov
