lpalt

The lpalt program alters various parameters of an existing request, such as request priority, number of copies, and so forth. The request must reside on the local system and must not be actively printing. The lpalt runstring is as follows:

CI> lpalt id [-option] [-option] ...

where:
id	is the request ID of the request to be altered. The request must be present on
	the local system; remote requests cannot be altered. You must be a superuser
	to alter a request that you do not own.
option	is one or more of the valid options described in the following section.
Options
-ddest	Change the destination of the request, either a printer name or the name of a class
	of printers. If a class name is given, the files are printed on the first available
	printer that is a member of that class. If this option is given, then a new request ID
	is assigned to the request. The new request ID is printed to the terminal and
	returned in $RETURN_S. The new request ID is a local request ID, even if the
	altered request originated on a remote host. For example:
	CI> lpalt ice-9@bokonon -dplan
	new request id is plan-9
-m	Send mail to the user that created the request when the request is printed. The
	system on which the request is printed must support Internet mail; on the HP 1000
	this is provided by the Mail/1000 system.
-ncopies	Change the number of copies to print of each file. copies must be an integer from 1
	to 32767.
-ooption	Change the interfacespecific options to be passed to the printer interface used to
	print the request. More than one -o option may be given to pass more than one
	option. Any existing options on the request are removed. See the documentation
	on the destination printer interface program or routine for the options that it
	supports.
	Because RTE case folds the lp runstring by default, and because most options are
	lowercase, lpalt reverses the upper or lowercase of each character in the option.
	For example, if a printer interface accepts option •BSDp", the lpalt runstring
	from CI might be:
	CI> lpalt mach-5 -o‘bsd‘p
-ppriority	Change the priority of the request, an integer value from 0 to 7. Higher values
	indicate higher priority for the request. This value is used in determining the order
	in which requests are printed.
