45.SH NOTES
46Since \fBlpc\fR is geared towards the Berkeley printing system, it is impossible to use \fBlpc\fR to configure printer or class queues provided by CUPS.
47To configure printer or class queues you must use the
48.BR lpadmin (8)
49command or another CUPS-compatible client with that functionality.
