  24 .TH lpc 8 "Common UNIX Printing System" "12 February 2006" "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
  36 provided by CUPS. It can also be used to query the state of
  37 queues.
  38 .LP
  39 If no command is specified on the command-line, \fRlpc\fR will
  40 display a prompt and accept commands from the standard input.
  41 .SH COMMANDS
  42 The \fIlpc\fR program accepts a subset of commands accepted by
  43 the Berkeley \fIlpc\fR program of the same name:
  44 .TP 5
  45 exit
  46 .br
  47 Exits the command interpreter.
  48 .TP 5
  49 help [command]
  50 .TP 5
  51 ? [command]
  52 .br
  53 Displays a short help message.
  54 .TP 5
  55 quit
  56 .br
  57 Exits the command interpreter.
  58 .TP 5
  59 status [queue]
  60 .br
  61 Displays the status of one or more printer or class queues.
  62 .SH LIMITATIONS
  63 Since \fIlpc\fR is geared towards the Berkeley printing system,
  64 it is impossible to use \fIlpc\fR to configure printer or class
  65 queues provided by CUPS.  To configure printer or class queues
  66 you must use the \fIlpadmin(8)\fR command or another
  67 CUPS-compatible client with that functionality.
  68 .SH COMPATIBILITY
  69 The CUPS version of \fIlpc\fR does not implement all of the
  70 standard Berkeley or LPRng commands.
  71 .SH SEE ALSO
