59.SH DESCRIPTION
cfa19b58
MS
60\fBlpadmin\fR configures printer and class queues provided by CUPS.
61It can also be used to set the server default printer or class.
ef416fc2 62.LP
cfa19b58 63When specified before the \fI-d\fR, \fI-p\fR, or \fI-x\fR options, the \fI-E\fR option forces encryption when connecting to the server.
ef416fc2 64.LP
cfa19b58
MS
65The first form of the command (\fI-d\fR) sets the default printer or class to \fIdestination\fR.
66Subsequent print jobs submitted via the
67.BR lp (1)
68or
69.BR lpr (1)
70commands will use this destination unless the user specifies otherwise with the
71.BR lpoptions (1)
72command.
ef416fc2 73.LP
cfa19b58 74The second form of the command (\fI-p\fR) configures the named printer or class. The additional options are described below.
ef416fc2 75.LP
cfa19b58
MS
76The third form of the command (\fI-x\fR) deletes the printer or class \fIdestination\fR.
77Any jobs that are pending for the destination will be removed and any job that is currently printed will be aborted.
78.SH OPTIONS
79The following options are recognized when configuring a printer queue:

ef416fc2 84.TP 5
cfa19b58
MS
85\fB\-i \fIinterface\fR
86Sets a System V style interface script for the printer.

131.TP 5
132\fB\-o port\-monitor=\fIname\fR
133Sets the binary communications program to use when printing, "none", "bcp", or "tbcp".

138Sets the error policy to be used when the printer backend is unable to send the job to the printer.
139The name must be one of "abort-job", "retry-job", "retry-current-job", or "stop-printer".

ef416fc2 161.TP 5
cfa19b58 162\fB-u allow:\fR{\fIuser\fR|\fB@\fIgroup\fR}{\fB,\fIuser\fR|\fB,@\fIgroup\fR}*

cfa19b58
MS
168\fB\-u deny:none\fR
169Sets user-level access control on a destination.

171The latter two forms turn user-level access control off.
ef416fc2 172.TP 5
cfa19b58
MS
173\fB\-v "\fIdevice-uri\fB"\fR
174Sets the \fIdevice-uri\fR attribute of the printer queue.
175Use the \fI-v\fR option with the
176.BR lpinfo (8)
177command to get a list of supported device URIs and schemes.
ef416fc2 178.TP 5
cfa19b58 179\fB\-D "\fIinfo\fB"\fR
7cf5915e 180Provides a textual description of the destination.
ef416fc2 181.TP 5
cfa19b58 182.B \-E
7cf5915e 183Enables the destination and accepts jobs; this is the same as running the
cfa19b58
MS
184.BR cupsaccept (8)
185and
186.BR cupsenable (8)
187programs on the destination.
ef416fc2 188.TP 5
cfa19b58 189\fB\-L "\fIlocation\fB"\fR
7cf5915e 190Provides a textual location of the destination.
ef416fc2 191.TP 5
cfa19b58
MS
192\fB\-P \fIppd-file\fR
193Specifies a PostScript Printer Description file to use with the printer.
194If specified, this option overrides the \fI-i\fR option (interface script).
195.SH CONFORMING TO
196Unlike the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to contain any printable character except SPACE, TAB, "/", or "#".
bd7854cb 197Also, printer and class names are \fInot\fR case-sensitive.
cfa19b58
MS
198Finally, the CUPS version of \fBlpadmin\fR may ask the user for an access password depending on the printing system configuration.
199This differs from the System V version which requires the root user to execute this command.
200.SH NOTES
201The CUPS version of \fBlpadmin\fR does not support all of the System V or Solaris printing system configuration options.
