  11 lpc - line printer control program
  12 <h2 class="title"><a name="SYNOPSIS">Synopsis</a></h2>
  13 <b>lpc</b>
  14 [
  15 <i>command</i>
  16 [
  17 <i>parameter(s)</i>
  18 ] ]
  19 <h2 class="title"><a name="DESCRIPTION">Description</a></h2>
  20 <i>lpc</i> provides limited control over printer and class queues
  21 provided by CUPS. It can also be used to query the state of
  22 queues.
  23 <p>If no command is specified on the command-line, lpc will
  24 display a prompt and accept commands from the standard input.
  25 <h2 class="title"><a name="COMMANDS">Commands</a></h2>
  26 The <i>lpc</i> program accepts a subset of commands accepted by
  27 the Berkeley <i>lpc</i> program of the same name:
  28 <dl class="man">
  29 <dt>exit
  30 <dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><br>
  31 Exits the command interpreter.
  32 <dt>help [command]
  33 <dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><dt>? [command]
  34 <dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><br>
  35 Displays a short help message.
  36 <dt>quit
  37 <dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><br>
  38 Exits the command interpreter.
  39 <dt>status [queue]
  40 <dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><br>
  41 Displays the status of one or more printer or class queues.
  42 </dl>
  43 <h2 class="title"><a name="LIMITATIONS">Limitations</a></h2>
  44 Since <i>lpc</i> is geared towards the Berkeley printing system,
  45 it is impossible to use <i>lpc</i> to configure printer or class
  46 queues provided by CUPS.  To configure printer or class queues
  47 you must use the <i>lpadmin(8)</i> command or another
  48 CUPS-compatible client with that functionality.
  49 <h2 class="title"><a name="COMPATIBILITY">Compatibility</a></h2>
  50 The CUPS version of <i>lpc</i> does not implement all of the
  51 standard Berkeley or LPRng commands.
