Manage queues from the CLI

Use codehost-config for queue administration. Most of these operations require administrative permissions.

Operation	Example
List configured queues	codehost-config -a
List queue alerts	codehost-config -q
Show queue status	codehost-config -t office
Inspect configuration options	codehost-config -C office
Set system default	codehost-config -d office
Update queue URI	codehost-config -u office -U lpd://printer.example/print
Update description	codehost-config -u office -D "Office printer"
Update location	codehost-config -u office -L "2nd floor"
Remove a queue	codehost-config -r office

Printer classes

Create and manage printer classes on CUPS and System V systems:

codehost-config --add-class group office lab
codehost-config --remove-member group lab

Printer classes distribute jobs to an available member queue; an individual class requires at least one existing queue.

Caution

Queue removal affects users and jobs. Check queue ownership, active work, and system-wide defaults before deleting or changing a shared queue.
