Disabling repeated printer fault alerts
After a fault occurs and you start receiving repeated alerts, you can direct the print service to stop sending you alerts (for the current fault only).
To direct the print service to stop sending you alerts (for the current fault only), run the following command:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p printer-name -A quiet
Note: Use the alert type of quiet only to terminate an active alert; do
not specify quiet as the alert type for a new printer.
If the printer-name is all in any of the commands discussed, the alerting condition will apply to all printers.
If you do not define an alert method, you will receive mail once for each printer fault. If you define a method without the -W option, you will be alerted once for each fault.
