<p>When specified before the <i>-d</i>, <i>-p</i>, or <i>-x</i> options, the <i>-E</i> option forces encryption when connecting to the server.
<p>The first form of the command (<i>-d</i>) sets the default printer or class to <i>destination</i>.
Subsequent print jobs submitted via the
-<a href="man-lp.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>lp</b>(1)</a>
+<b>lp</b>(1)
or
-<a href="man-lpr.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>lpr</b>(1)</a>

commands will use this destination unless the user specifies otherwise with the
-<a href="man-lpoptions.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>lpoptions</b>(1)</a>
+<b>lpoptions</b>(1)
command.
<p>The second form of the command (<i>-p</i>) configures the named printer or class. The additional options are described below.
<p>The third form of the command (<i>-x</i>) deletes the printer or class <i>destination</i>.
<dt><b>-c </b><i>class</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Adds the named <i>printer</i> to <i>class</i>.
If <i>class</i> does not exist it is created automatically.
-<dt><b>-i </b><i>ppd-file</i>
-<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><dt><b>-P </b><i>ppd-file</i>
-<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies a PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file to use with the printer.
<dt><b>-m </b><i>model</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Sets a standard PPD file for the printer from the <i>model</i> directory or using one of the driver interfaces.
Use the <i>-m</i> option with the
-<a href="man-lpinfo.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>lpinfo</b>(8)</a>
+<b>lpinfo</b>(8)
command to get a list of supported models.
The model "raw" clears any existing PPD file and the model "everywhere" queries the printer referred to by the specified IPP <i>device-uri</i>.
+Note: Models other than "everywhere" are deprecated and will not be supported in a future version of CUPS.
<dt><b>-o cupsIPPSupplies=true</b>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><dt><b>-o cupsIPPSupplies=false</b>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies whether IPP supply level values should be reported.
<dt><b>-o </b><i>name</i><b>=</b><i>value</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Sets a PPD option for the printer.
PPD options can be listed using the <i>-l</i> option with the

command.
<dt><b>-o </b><i>name</i><b>-default=</b><i>value</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Sets a default server-side option for the destination.
The default program is "none".
The specified port monitor must be listed in the printer's PPD file.
<dt><b>-o printer-error-policy=</b><i>name</i>
-<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Sets the error policy to be used when the printer backend is unable to send the job to the printer.
-The name must be one of "abort-job", "retry-job", "retry-current-job", or "stop-printer".
+<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Sets the policy for errors such as printers that cannot be found or accessed, don't support the format being printed, fail during submission of the print data, or cause one or more filters to crash.
+The name must be one of "abort-job" (abort the job on error), "retry-job" (retry the job at a future time), "retry-current-job" (retry the current job immediately), or "stop-printer" (stop the printer on error).
The default error policy is "stop-printer" for printers and "retry-current-job" for
classes.
<dt><b>-o printer-is-shared=true</b>
<dt><b>-v "</b><i>device-uri</i><b>"</b>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Sets the <i>device-uri</i> attribute of the printer queue.
Use the <i>-v</i> option with the

programs on the destination.
<dt><b>-L "</b><i>location</i><b>"</b>

Unlike the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to contain any printable character except SPACE, TAB, "/", or "#".
Also, printer and class names are <i>not</i> case-sensitive.
-Finally, the CUPS version of <b>lpadmin</b> may ask the user for an access password depending on the printing system configuration.
+<p>Finally, the CUPS version of <b>lpadmin</b> may ask the user for an access password depending on the printing system configuration.
This differs from the System V version which requires the root user to execute this command.
<h2 class="title"><a name="NOTES">Notes</a></h2>
-The CUPS version of <b>lpadmin</b> does not support all of the System V or Solaris printing system configuration options.
+CUPS printer drivers and backends are deprecated and will no longer be supported in a future feature release of CUPS.
+Printers that do not support IPP can be supported using applications such as

+<p>The CUPS version of <b>lpadmin</b> does not support all of the System V or Solaris printing system configuration options.
+<p>Interface scripts are not supported for security reasons.
+<p>The double meaning of the <b>-E</b> option is an unfortunate historical oddity.
+<p>The <b>lpadmin</b> command communicates with the scheduler (<b>cupsd</b>) to make changes to the printing system configuration.
+This configuration information is stored in several files including <i>printers.conf</i> and <i>classes.conf</i>.
+These files should not be edited directly and are an implementation detail of CUPS that is subject to change at any time.
