cups cannot redirect a job into another print queue in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
Issue
- Our CUPS RHEL server has a print queue "TO_PRINTER" for printing on a network printer via socket. We can print a text file without any problem via the print queue.
- We created another print queue "REDIRECT" to redirect into "TO_PRINTER" queue with the following command.
lpadmin -p REDIRECT -v lpd://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/TO_PRINTER
NOTE: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip address of the local host.
- But, it cannot print anything.
