Dear Greg,

That is a little trickier, but not that difficult. In the printout 
you might see something like LP and/or some
other device name. Showdev will show all devices and showout will 
show spoolfiles that are waiting to
print.

There are other methods but it depends on how the printer is configured.

One way to look may be:

showdev lp

This would show all devices that have a device class of lp.

Another method you could try is showdev alone which will show all of the
devices. Then you can look for all of the "SPOOLED" devices.

All of this stuff is automatic on my systems so sometimes I forget the best
methods. :)

Let me know if the showdev helps.
