How to Limit AIX print queue
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I need to limit the size of the print queue on AIX. Either by number of queued files or by total file size. It is needed to prevent /var from filling up such that space is available for other items, should a printer be offline or out of paper. What configuration parameters or command can I use to do this?

Can you show the output oflsvirprt -q QueueName -d DeviceName?

The output shows plenty of information about the specific printer attached to each queue and commands to alter page size, font, linefeeds and so forth, but nothing about how the queue is controlled, other than listing the command's input parameters. The output for is 554 lines long for the first print queue.

You could put '/var/spool/spooldir' directory onto a separated partition/filesystem with limited size.
