# xprehashprinterlist(1)

Recomputes the list of available printers.

## NAME

xprehashprinterlist - Recomputes the list of available printers.

## SYNOPSIS

**xprehashprinterlist**  \[**-v**\] \[**-h**\]

## DESCRIPTION

xprehashprinterlist causes all Xprint servers to recompute (update) their lists of available printers, and update the attributes for the printers. The intended usage of this tool is that a system administrator can run it after changing the printer topology.

## OPTIONS

- **-v**

  generate verbose output

- **-h \| -?**

  print usage

## ENVIRONMENT

- **XPSERVERLIST**

  **${XPSERVERLIST}** must be set, identifying the available Xprint servers. See [**Xprint**(7)](/Xprint/7.md) for more details.

## EXAMPLES

**Update the list of available printers**

```
% xprehashprinterlist -v
```

would print:

```
Rehashing printer list on server 'meridian:34'
```

## NOTES

xprehashprinterlist rehashes all printer lists of all print servers. Alternatively xset rehashprinterlist may be used to rehash only the list of printers in one print server.
