+# Print Queue Checker
+#
+# The print queue checker simply looks for an occurance of a
+# DOWN queue. A note of warning, if you use remote queues in
+# AIX to redirect print jobs from the AIX queue to an NT print
+# server that print through DLC rather than IP, it will be very
+# s - l - o - w. But it will work.

+#=======================================================================
+#
+# This script will also work on AIX 4.2.1 BUT you have to change
+# the following line. AIX 4.2.1 does not support the -W option
+# with lpstat. For AIX 4.2.1 just remove the -W option and it should
+# work just fine.

+# If you've seen the other AIX scripts I wrote you may
+# notice that I use this bit of code a lot. Well it
