20 <b>lpc
</b> provides limited control over printer and class queues provided by CUPS. It can also be used to query the state of queues.
21 <p>If no command is specified on the command-line,
<b>lpc
</b> displays a prompt and accepts commands from the standard input.

"COMMANDS">Commands
</a></h3>
23 The
<b>lpc
</b> program accepts a subset of commands accepted by the Berkeley
<b>lpc
</b> program of the same name:
26 <dd style=
"margin-left: 5.0em">Exits the command interpreter.
27 <dt><b>help
</b>[
<i>command
</i>]
28 <dd style=
"margin-left: 5.0em"><dt><b>?
</b>[
<i>command
</i>]
29 <dd style=
"margin-left: 5.0em">Displays a short help message.
31 <dd style=
"margin-left: 5.0em">Exits the command interpreter.
32 <dt><b>status
</b>[
<i>queue
</i>]
33 <dd style=
"margin-left: 5.0em">Displays the status of one or more printer or class queues.

36 Since
<b>lpc
</b> is geared towards the Berkeley printing system, it is impossible to use
<b>lpc
</b> to configure printer or class queues provided by CUPS.
37 To configure printer or class queues you must use the
38 <a href=
"man-lpadmin.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>lpadmin
</b>(

</a>
39 command or another CUPS-compatible client with that functionality.
