The tarantella print move command

Syntax

tarantella print move --server serv
                        [ --printer printer_name ]
                        [ --cups {y | n |auto} ]
                        [ --preserve ]

Description

Moves queued print jobs from one Secure Global Desktop server to another.

If a Secure Global Desktop server was temporarily unavailable, you could, for example, use this command to move the print jobs that had become 'stranded' on that server.

Note This command only moves the print jobs that are currently in the Secure Global Desktop print queue (/opt/tarantella/var/print/queue).

Argument Description
--cups y | n | auto Indicates that the host from which you are moving print jobs uses the Common UNIX Printing System™ (CUPS).

If you do not use this option, a default of auto is assumed and this means Secure Global Desktop tries to detect whether CUPS is being used. If CUPS is incorrectly detected, use this option to tell Secure Global Desktop whether CUPS is being used (y) or not (n).

--preserve Forces Secure Global Desktop to copy rather than move the print jobs to the target Secure Global Desktop server. The original print jobs are kept in the Secure Global Desktop print queue.

Note If Secure Global Desktop printing services are re-started on the original Secure Global Desktop server and the print jobs have not been deleted, they will be printed.

--printer printer_name The name of the printer on the Secure Global Desktop server to which you are moving the print jobs. If you leave out this argument, a default of tta_printer is used.
--server serv The fully qualified peer DNS name of the Secure Global Desktop server to which you are moving the print jobs.

Examples

tarantella print move --server boston.indigo-insurance.com --printer tta_boston

Moves print jobs from the host on which the command is run to the printer called tta_boston on the host boston.indigo-insurance.com.
