  • 1.  SMIT Printer Configuration

    Hi,
    One of the options in SMIT for AIX is to 'Add an additional printer to an existing queue'. So, I can have 2 or more printer devices to the same queue. My question is:
    If I am printing a document with 'lp -d<queue_name> <document_name>, I should have the document printed to all the printers attached to this queue in the same time? If not, what is the purpose of this option? I really appreciate if somebody can make it clear for me. I couldn't find any details about this in AIX or SMIT documentation.
    Tks!

    When you submit a print job, a print queue must be directly or indirectly specified. If a printer is not specified for the print job, the spooler selects the first available printer associated with the print queue. If there are several printers associated with a print queue, any printer is used. Having multiple printers associated with a print queue will enable you to continue printing if one becomes unavailable.
