NAME¶
lpc - line printer control program
SYNOPSIS¶
lpc [
command [
parameter(s) ] ]
DESCRIPTION¶
lpc provides limited control over printer and class queues provided by
CUPS. It can also be used to query the state of queues.
If no command is specified on the command-line,
lpc displays a prompt and
accepts commands from the standard input.
COMMANDS¶
The
lpc program accepts a subset of commands accepted by the Berkeley
lpc program of the same name:
- exit
- Exits the command interpreter.
- help [command]
- ? [command]
- Displays a short help message.
- quit
- Exits the command interpreter.
- status [queue]
- Displays the status of one or more printer or class queues.
NOTES¶
Since
lpc is geared towards the Berkeley printing system, it is
impossible to use
lpc to configure printer or class queues provided by
CUPS. To configure printer or class queues you must use the
lpadmin(8)
command or another CUPS-compatible client with that functionality.
