Disabling printer fault alerts

If you do not want the print service to issue an alert when a fault occurs, enter the following:

  /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p printer-name -A none

If you want mail sent or a message written to another user when a printer fault occurs, use the lpadmin command with the -A' mail login-ID' option or the -A 'write login-ID' option. If you do not specify a login-ID, the mail or message will be sent to your current login name. This may not be your login if you have used the su command to change your login.
