Дубликат принтера на Ubuntu 18.04

Это легко! Просто переместитесь по своему браузеру к странице CUPS Admin, http://localhost:631 и добавьте принтер с новым именем и характеристиками, но ТЕМ ЖЕ устройством URI. У меня есть сценарий удара и несколько псевдонимов, которые помогают мне с несколькими очередями CUPS:

walt@bat:~(0)$ alias lpqa
alias lpqa='for i in $( lpstat -a | cut -f1 "-d " ) ; do  lpq -P $i; done'
walt@bat:~(0)$ alias lpqac
alias lpqac='for i in $( lpstat -a | cut -f1 "-d " ) ; do  lpq -P $i| egrep -v "no entries" | $HOME/bin/rcg "is not ready" BRIGHT_RED "is ready" BRIGHT_GREEN; done'

~/bin/cupsswitch:
