The tarantella print move command

Syntax

tarantella print move --server serv
                        [ --printer printer_name ]
                        [ --cups {y | n |auto} ]
                        [ --preserve ]

Description

Moves queued print jobs from one Tarantella server to another.

If a Tarantella server was temporarily unavailable, you could, for example, use this command to move the print jobs that had become 'stranded' on that server.

Note This command only moves the print jobs that are currently in the Tarantella print queue (install_dir/var/print/queue).

Argument Description
--cups y | n | auto Indicates that the host from which you are moving print jobs uses the Common UNIX Printing System™ (CUPS).

If you do not use this option, a default of auto is assumed and this means Tarantella tries to detect whether CUPS is being used. If CUPS is incorrectly detected, use this option to tell Tarantella whether CUPS is being used (y) or not (n).

--preserve Forces Tarantella to copy rather than move the print jobs to the target Tarantella server. The original print jobs are kept in the Tarantella print queue.

Note If Tarantella printing services are re-started on the original Tarantella server and the print jobs have not been deleted, they will be printed.

--printer printer_name The name of the printer on the Tarantella server to which you are moving the print jobs. If you leave out this argument, a default of tta_printer is used.
--server serv The fully qualified peer DNS name of the Tarantella server to which you are moving the print jobs.

Examples

tarantella print move --server boston.indigo-insurance.com --printer tta_boston

Moves print jobs from the host on which the command is run to the printer called tta_boston on the host boston.indigo-insurance.com.
