Remote printers and queues

No special commands are required to print to a remote host. Use any print command that allows you to specify a queue.

The lpr, qprt, and enq commands are examples of print commands. Use the appropriate flags and options to tailor the print request, including the flag that specifies the queue. Use the name of the remote queue on your host.

You can also send a remote print request with the smit qprt fast path.

Queue status commands, such as qchk or lpstat, display information for both local and remote print queues. The smit qchk command displays a menu that allows you to choose the type of queue status information you want from both local and remote queues.

To cancel a print job in a remote queue, use the qcan command, or the lprm command. You can also use the smit qcan fast path.
