rmvirprt Command
Purpose
Removes a virtual printer.
Syntax
Description
The rmvirprt command removes the virtual printer assigned to the PrinterQueueName and QueueDeviceName variable value. The rmvirprt command also removes the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) Object Database Manager (ODM) objects associated with the specified queue and queue device.
You can also use the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) smit rmvirprt fast path to run this command.
Note: When
the command rmvirprt is run from the command line, it does
not remove the queue or queue device, nor does it check for any jobs
running or queued on the specified queue and queue device. However,
if SMIT is used to run this command interactively, the corresponding
queue, queue device, and, optionally, printer device, are removed
along with the virtual printer, if there are no jobs running or queued.
