The rmquedev command removes a printer or plotter queue device from the system configuration by deleting the device stanza named by the -d flag from the /etc/qconfig file. It also modifies the Device=DeviceName1,DeviceName2,DeviceName3 line of the queue stanza, deleting the entry for the device Name.
You can use the Printer Queues application in Web-based System Manager (wsm) to change printer characteristics.
You could also use the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) smit rmquedev fast path to run this command.
