11lpc - 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
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:
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>
54Since <i>lpc</i> is geared towards the Berkeley printing system,
55it is impossible to use <i>lpc</i> to configure printer or class
56queues provided by CUPS. To configure printer or class queues
57you must use the <a href='man-lpadmin.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages'>lpadmin(8)</a> command or another
58CUPS-compatible client with that functionality.
59<h2 class="title"><a name="COMPATIBILITY">Compatibility</a></h2>
60The CUPS version of <i>lpc</i> does not implement all of the
61standard Berkeley or LPRng commands.
