Note: This is a System V Print Subsystem command.
Set printing queue priorities.
lpusers -d PriorityLevel
lpusers -q PriorityLimit -u LoginIDList
lpusers -u LoginIDList
lpusers -q PriorityLimit
lpusers -l
The lpusers command sets limits to the queue priority level that can be assigned to jobs submitted by users of the LP print service.
The first form of the command (with -d) sets the system-wide priority default to PriorityLevel, where PriorityLevel is a value of 0 to 39, with 0 being the highest priority. If a user does not specify a priority level with a print request (see the lp command), the default priority is used. Initially, the default priority level is 20.
The second form of the command (with -q and -u) sets the default PriorityLimit ( from 0 to 39) that the users in the LoginIDList can request when submitting a print request. The LoginIDList parameter may include any or all of the following constructs:
Users that have been given a limit cannot submit a print request with a higher priority level than the one assigned, nor can they change a request already submitted to have a higher priority. Any print requests submitted with priority levels higher than allowed will be given the highest priority allowed.
The third form of the command (with -u) removes any explicit priority limit for the specified users.
The fourth form of the command (with -q) sets the default priority limit for all users not explicitly covered by the use of the second form of this command.
The last form of the command (with -l) lists the default priority level and the priority limits assigned to users.
If you enter lpusers -?, the system displays the command usage message and returns 0.
