man xprehashprinterlist (1): Recomputes the list of available printers.

SYNOPSIS

xprehashprinterlist [-v] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

xprehashprinterlist causes all Xprint servers to recompute (update) their lists of available printers, and update the attributes for the printers. The intended usage of this tool is that a system administrator can run it after changing the printer topology.

OPTIONS

-v: generate verbose output
-h | -?: print usage

ENVIRONMENT

XPSERVERLIST: ${XPSERVERLIST} must be set, identifying the available Xprint servers. See Xprint(7) for more details.

EXAMPLES

Update the list of available printers

% xprehashprinterlist -v

would print:

Rehashing printer list on server 'meridian:34'

NOTES

xprehashprinterlist rehashes all printer lists of all print servers. Alternatively xset rehashprinterlist may be used to rehash only the list of printers in one print server.
