+.SH NAME
+lpc \- line printer control program (deprecated)
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B lpc
+[
+.I command
+[
+.I parameter(s)
+] ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBlpc\fR provides limited control over printer and class queues provided by CUPS. It can also be used to query the state of queues.
+.LP
+If no command is specified on the command-line, \fBlpc\fR displays a prompt and accepts commands from the standard input.
+.SS COMMANDS
+The \fBlpc\fR program accepts a subset of commands accepted by the Berkeley \fBlpc\fR program of the same name:
+.TP 5
+.B exit
+Exits the command interpreter.
+.TP 5
+\fBhelp \fR[\fIcommand\fR]
+.TP 5
+\fB? \fR[\fIcommand\fR]
+Displays a short help message.
+.TP 5
+.B quit
+Exits the command interpreter.
+.TP 5
+\fBstatus \fR[\fIqueue\fR]
+Displays the status of one or more printer or class queues.
+.SH NOTES
+This program is deprecated and will be removed in a future feature release of CUPS.
+.LP
+Since \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.
+To configure printer or class queues you must use the
+.BR lpadmin (8)
+command or another CUPS-compatible client with that functionality.
