No, either type it as I posted, or put it in a file <i>filename</i> as posted and run &quot;sh <i>filename</i>&quot;<br />
<br />
One line would look like this:<br />
<br />
cd /var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/<wbr />custom; for QUEUE in *; do /usr/lib/lpd/pio/etc/piodi<wbr />gest $QUEUE; done

There's no test that I'm aware of. I fear you must test every single printer.

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
