  11 .SH NAME
  12 lpc \- line printer control program (deprecated)
  13 .SH SYNOPSIS
  14 .B lpc
  15 [
  16 .I command
  17 [
  18 .I parameter(s)
  19 ] ]
  20 .SH DESCRIPTION
  21 \fBlpc\fR provides limited control over printer and class queues provided by CUPS. It can also be used to query the state of queues.
  22 .LP
  23 If no command is specified on the command-line, \fBlpc\fR displays a prompt and accepts commands from the standard input.
  24 .SS COMMANDS
  25 The \fBlpc\fR program accepts a subset of commands accepted by the Berkeley \fBlpc\fR program of the same name:
  26 .TP 5
  27 .B exit
  28 Exits the command interpreter.
  29 .TP 5
  30 \fBhelp \fR[\fIcommand\fR]
  31 .TP 5
  32 \fB? \fR[\fIcommand\fR]
  33 Displays a short help message.
  34 .TP 5
  35 .B quit
  36 Exits the command interpreter.
  37 .TP 5
  38 \fBstatus \fR[\fIqueue\fR]
  39 Displays the status of one or more printer or class queues.
  40 .SH NOTES
  41 This program is deprecated and will be removed in a future feature release of CUPS.
  42 .LP
  43 Since \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.
  44 To configure printer or class queues you must use the
  45 .BR lpadmin (8)
  46 command or another CUPS-compatible client with that functionality.
