To give print from OS level:

Create a file with some text for testing. In this case file is “a”

[oraplayers:ORAPLAYERS:apploplayers]$ lp -d PRINTER_NAME a
request id is PRINTER_NAME-5031 (1 file(s))

-    Check the print is cmg or not?

Note :

[oraplayers:ORAPLAYERS:apploplayers]$ lpstat -o|grep PRINTER_NAME
[oraplayers:ORAPLAYERS:apploplayers]$

-    This cmd only list the printer name..if any job of that printer in Q. So always to check whether printer is there are not @ OS level below cmd

Best way to Check Printer Configured/Status @ OS Level

lpstat -lp PRINTER_NAME

UR's Key Run ;-)
