20<i>lpc</i> provides limited control over printer and class queues
21provided by CUPS. It can also be used to query the state of
22queues.
23<p>If no command is specified on the command-line, lpc will
24display a prompt and accept commands from the standard input.
25<h2 class="title"><a name="COMMANDS">Commands</a></h2>
26The <i>lpc</i> program accepts a subset of commands accepted by
27the Berkeley <i>lpc</i> program of the same name:

43<h2 class="title"><a name="LIMITATIONS">Limitations</a></h2>
44Since <i>lpc</i> is geared towards the Berkeley printing system,
45it is impossible to use <i>lpc</i> to configure printer or class
46queues provided by CUPS. To configure printer or class queues
c277f98c 47you must use the <i>lpadmin(8)</i> command or another
94436c5a
MS
48CUPS-compatible client with that functionality.
49<h2 class="title"><a name="COMPATIBILITY">Compatibility</a></h2>
50The CUPS version of <i>lpc</i> does not implement all of the
51standard Berkeley or LPRng commands.
