Reprinting Completed Jobs

Listing completed jobs

By default the lpstat command lists the queued/pending jobs on a print queue. However the completed jobs still present on the server can be listed using the "-W completed" option.

For example, to list the completed jobs on the local print server for the queue named "examplep":

[user@host] lpstat -H localhost -W completed examplep
examplep-8821248         ogo             249856   Fri 30 Aug 2019 02:17:14 PM EDT

Reprinting a completed job

Once the job id is known, the far left column of the the lpstat output, the job can be resubmitted using the lp command.

To reprint the job with the id of "examplep-8821343", simply:

[user@host] lp -i examplep-8821343 -H restart
