Can I query the status of a remote printer in RHEL?
Issue
- When issuing an
lpstat -t
command, the command returns that the printer is idle, even if paper is removed or it is powered down. Is there a way to get a better response from a remote printer?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
- Common Unix Printing System (CUPS)
