  11 lpc - line printer control program
  12 <h2 class="title"><a name="SYNOPSIS">Synopsis</a></h2>
  13 <b>lpc
  14 </b>[
  15 <i>command
  16 </i>[
  17 <i>parameter(s)
  18 </i>] ]
  19 <h2 class="title"><a name="DESCRIPTION">Description</a></h2>
  20 <i>lpc</i> provides limited control over printer and class queues
  21 provided by CUPS. It can also be used to query the state of
  22 queues.
  23 <p>If no command is specified on the command-line, lpc will
  24 display a prompt and accept commands from the standard input.
  25 <h2 class="title"><a name="COMMANDS">Commands</a></h2>
  26 The <i>lpc</i> program accepts a subset of commands accepted by
  27 the Berkeley <i>lpc</i> program of the same name:
  28 <dl>
  29 <dt>exit
  30 </dt>
  31 <dd></dd>
  32 <dd>Exits the command interpreter.
  33 </dd>
  34 <dt>help [command]
  35 </dt>
  36 <dd></dd>
  37 <dt>? [command]
  38 </dt>
  39 <dd></dd>
  40 <dd>Displays a short help message.
  41 </dd>
  42 <dt>quit
  43 </dt>
  44 <dd></dd>
  45 <dd>Exits the command interpreter.
  46 </dd>
  47 <dt>status [queue]
  48 </dt>
  49 <dd></dd>
  50 <dd>Displays the status of one or more printer or class queues.
  51 </dd>
  52 </dl>
  53 <h2 class="title"><a name="LIMITATIONS">Limitations</a></h2>
  54 Since <i>lpc</i> is geared towards the Berkeley printing system,
  55 it is impossible to use <i>lpc</i> to configure printer or class
  56 queues provided by CUPS.  To configure printer or class queues
  57 you must use the <a href='man-lpadmin.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages'>lpadmin(8)</a> command or another
  58 CUPS-compatible client with that functionality.
  59 <h2 class="title"><a name="COMPATIBILITY">Compatibility</a></h2>
  60 The CUPS version of <i>lpc</i> does not implement all of the
  61 standard Berkeley or LPRng commands.
