cfa19b58
MS		 54<b>lpadmin</b> configures printer and class queues provided by CUPS.
55It can also be used to set the server default printer or class.
56<p>When specified before the <i>-d</i>, <i>-p</i>, or <i>-x</i> options, the <i>-E</i> option forces encryption when connecting to the server.
57<p>The first form of the command (<i>-d</i>) sets the default printer or class to <i>destination</i>.
58Subsequent print jobs submitted via the
59<a href="man-lp.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>lp</b>(1)</a>
60or
61<a href="man-lpr.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>lpr</b>(1)</a>
62commands will use this destination unless the user specifies otherwise with the
63<a href="man-lpoptions.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>lpoptions</b>(1)</a>
64command.
65<p>The second form of the command (<i>-p</i>) configures the named printer or class. The additional options are described below.
66<p>The third form of the command (<i>-x</i>) deletes the printer or class <i>destination</i>.
67Any jobs that are pending for the destination will be removed and any job that is currently printed will be aborted.
68<h2 class="title"><a name="OPTIONS">Options</a></h2>
69The following options are recognized when configuring a printer queue:

156Unlike the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to contain any printable character except SPACE, TAB, "/", or "#".
94436c5a 157Also, printer and class names are <i>not</i> case-sensitive.
cfa19b58
MS		 158Finally, the CUPS version of <b>lpadmin</b> may ask the user for an access password depending on the printing system configuration.
159This differs from the System V version which requires the root user to execute this command.
160<h2 class="title"><a name="NOTES">Notes</a></h2>
161The CUPS version of <b>lpadmin</b> does not support all of the System V or Solaris printing system configuration options.
