6.4.3Reactivating a printer

To be able to submit print jobs for a printer or start printing, you must first activate the printer.

Activate the printer with the following command:

xpchange -dev [selection] [-si ON -so ON] [-ju justification]

If you do not specify a selection, the command refers to all printers in the system; otherwise you can either specify a list of the printers to be activated, or you can use the -scl“selection_criteria_list” option (see section “Selection criteria list” on page 266 in the Appendix) to define a list of criteria according to which the printers to be activated are selected.

With the -si ON option, you can reactivate spoolin only, with -so ON spoolout only. If neither of these options is specified, the printer is reactivated completely.

With the option -jujustification you specify a comment justifying the new spoolin status. You can display this comment with the xpstat -devcommand.

Examples

To activate printer printer1 with the justification that it is now ready again: xpchange -dev printer1 -ju "ready again"

To activate spoolin for all printers connected to host colorado: xpchange -dev -scl "-ho colorado" -si ON

To activate all printers: xpchange -dev
