49      <p>The <tt class="COMMAND">lpc move</tt> command is used to
50      move jobs in one queue to another queue on an individual
51      basis, while the <tt class="COMMAND">lpc redirect</tt>
52      command redirects all incoming jobs to a new queue. Edit the
53      printcap file so it has contents indicated below, use <tt
54      class="COMMAND">checkpc -f</tt> to check the printcap, and
55      then use <tt class="COMMAND">lpc reread</tt> to restart the

114      <p>We first stop the queues so that the jobs will remain in

116      id toqueue</tt> command to select a job in the <span class=
117      "emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">fromqueue</i></span> and move
118      it to the <span class="emphasis"><i class=
119      "EMPHASIS">toqueue</i></span>. A list of job numbers, job
120      IDs, or glob patterns to match job IDs can be used to select
121      the job.</p>
122
123      <p>The <tt class="COMMAND">lpc redirect fromqueue
