Fedora Core 5 - (Re)Enabling a CUPS print queue
HI,
I have a print queue running on Fedora Core 5 that has become disabled (Printer powered off in mid print run)
I understand that re-enabling a queue on linux should be as easy as :
enable printername OR lpc enable all OR lpc up all OR /usr/bin/enable printername
However all of these commands say they are not implemented in the CUPS version of lpc
I have purged the jobs from the queue and now just need to enable printing again,
Any help would be greatly appreciated, we need to print an invoice run today.
lp:
queuing is enabled
printing is disabled
no entries
daemon present

Ok. I've sorted this myself. took me ages to find it so i thought id post the solution for anyone else that is searching for this.
On Fedora Core 5 usings CUPS you have to use the lpadmin command
lpadmin -p printername -E
the -E switch (re)enables printing
