  11 lpc - line printer control program

  13 <b>lpc</b>

  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 <p style="margin-left: 5.0em; text-indent: -5.0em">exit
  29 <br>
  30 <br>
  31 Exits the command interpreter.
  32 <p style="margin-left: 5.0em; text-indent: -5.0em">help [command]
  33 <br>
  34 <p style="margin-left: 5.0em; text-indent: -5.0em">? [command]
  35 <br>
  36 <br>
  37 Displays a short help message.
  38 <p style="margin-left: 5.0em; text-indent: -5.0em">quit
  39 <br>
  40 <br>
  41 Exits the command interpreter.
  42 <p style="margin-left: 5.0em; text-indent: -5.0em">status [queue]
  43 <br>
  44 <br>
  45 Displays the status of one or more printer or class queues.
  46 <h2 class="title"><a name="LIMITATIONS">Limitations</a></h2>
  47 Since <i>lpc</i> is geared towards the Berkeley printing system,
  48 it is impossible to use <i>lpc</i> to configure printer or class
  49 queues provided by CUPS.  To configure printer or class queues
  50 you must use the <i>lpadmin(8)</i> command or another
  51 CUPS-compatible client with that functionality.
  52 <h2 class="title"><a name="COMPATIBILITY">Compatibility</a></h2>
  53 The CUPS version of <i>lpc</i> does not implement all of the
  54 standard Berkeley or LPRng commands.
