39.SH NOTES
40Since \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.
41To configure printer or class queues you must use the
42.BR lpadmin (8)
43command or another CUPS-compatible client with that functionality.
