Anyone done any print queue redirection? I want a way to send all the
current and future print jobs of a 'getting fixed printer' to another
print queue.
My print queues are set up as Network print servers (Jet Direct, etc)
There is a /var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/ddi diretory with my queues names
in it.

I checked recent posts about print redirection. The only I found was
from 1995!
But this referred to /var/spool/lpd/qdir files. My directory did not
have any files in it.

I suspect there is not an official IBM way to do this, but perhaps
someone has cookbook on how to do it non-IBM.

If all you want to do is send jobs from one Jetdirect queue and point them
to another Jetdirect, the easiest thing - edit /etc/qconfig and change the
hostname in the "backend = ....../piojetd hostname" line.

Best regards,

Paul's advice above was very helpful. I simply changed the
/etc/qconfig backend stanza and recycled the spooler src group.

This AIX group is great.
