  16 .SH NAME
  17 lpc \- line printer control program
  18 .SH SYNOPSIS
  19 .B lpc
  20 [
  21 .I command
  22 [
  23 .I parameter(s)
  24 ] ]
  25 .SH DESCRIPTION
  26 \fIlpc\fR provides limited control over printer and class queues
  27 provided by CUPS. It can also be used to query the state of
  28 queues.
  29 .LP
  30 If no command is specified on the command-line, \fRlpc\fR will
  31 display a prompt and accept commands from the standard input.
  32 .SH COMMANDS
  33 The \fIlpc\fR program accepts a subset of commands accepted by
  34 the Berkeley \fIlpc\fR program of the same name:
  35 .TP 5
  36 exit
  37 .br
  38 Exits the command interpreter.
  39 .TP 5
  40 help [command]
  41 .TP 5
  42 ? [command]
  43 .br
  44 Displays a short help message.
  45 .TP 5
  46 quit
  47 .br
  48 Exits the command interpreter.
  49 .TP 5
  50 status [queue]
  51 .br
  52 Displays the status of one or more printer or class queues.
  53 .SH LIMITATIONS
  54 Since \fIlpc\fR is geared towards the Berkeley printing system,
  55 it is impossible to use \fIlpc\fR to configure printer or class
  56 queues provided by CUPS.  To configure printer or class queues
  57 you must use the \fIlpadmin(8)\fR command or another
  58 CUPS-compatible client with that functionality.
  59 .SH COMPATIBILITY
  60 The CUPS version of \fIlpc\fR does not implement all of the
  61 standard Berkeley or LPRng commands.
  62 .SH SEE ALSO
