  24 .TH lpc 8 "Common UNIX Printing System" "22 September 1999" "Easy Software Products"
  25 .SH NAME
  26 lpc \- line printer control program
  27 .SH SYNOPSIS
  28 .B lpc
  29 [
  30 .I command
  31 [
  32 .I parameter(s)
  33 ] ]
  34 .SH DESCRIPTION
  35 \fIlpc\fR provides limited control over printer and class queues provided by
  36 CUPS. It can also be used to query the state of queues.
  37 .LP
  38 If no command is specified on the command-line, \fRlpc\fR will display a
  39 prompt and accept commands from the standard input.
  40 .SH COMMANDS
  41 The \fIlpc\fR program accepts a subset of commands accepted by the Berkeley
  42 \fIlpc\fR program of the same name:
  43 .TP 5
  44 \fIexit
  45 .br
  46 Exits the command interpreter.
  47 .TP 5
  48 help \fI[command]\fR
  49 .br
  50 Displays a short help message.
  51 .TP 5
  52 quit
  53 .br
  54 Exits the command interpreter.
  55 .TP 5
  56 status \fI[queue]\fR
  57 .br
  58 Displays the status of one or more printer or class queues.
  59 .TP 5
  60 ? \fI[command]\fR
  61 .br
  62 Display a short help message.
  63 .SH LIMITATIONS
  64 Since \fIlpc\fR is geared towards the Berkeley printing system, it is impossible
  65 to use \fIlpc\fR to configure printer or class queues provided by CUPS.  To
  66 configure printer or class queues you must use the \fIlpadmin(8)\fR command
  67 or another CUPS-compatible client with that functionality.
  68 .SH COMPATIBILITY
  69 The CUPS version of \fIlpc\fR does not implement all of the standard Berkeley
  70 commands.
