SYNOPSIS¶
foomatic-printjob [ -s spooler ] [ -P queuename ] [ -o option1=value1
-o option2 ... ] [ -i ] [ file1 file2 ... ]
foomatic-printjob -Q [ -s spooler ] [ -P queuename ] [ -i ] [ -a ] [
user1 user2 ... ]
foomatic-printjob -R [ -s spooler ] [ -P queuename ] [ -i ] [ - |
jobid1 jobid2 ... ]
foomatic-printjob -C [ -s spooler ] [ -i ] command [ arguments ]
foomatic-printjob -S [ -s spooler ] [ -i ]
foomatic-printjob -h [ -s spooler ] [ -P queuename ] [ -i ]
DESCRIPTION¶
foomatic-printjob provides a spooler-independent interface to creating
and managing printer jobs and print queues. Note that the first argument
changes the mode of the command, as it combines the functionality of several
System V-style printing commands.
OPTIONS¶
- -sspooler
- Explicit spooler type.
- -Pqueuename
- Any commands specified should apply to this queue instead
of the default.
- -ooption=value
- Set option to value
- -ooption
- Set the switch option
- -#n
- Print n copies
- file1 file2 ...
- Files to be printed, when no file is given, standard input
will be printed
- -Q
- Query the jobs in a queue. If a list of users is specified,
only those users' jobs will be queried.
- -Q -a
- Query the jobs in all queues. If a list of users is
specified, only those users' jobs will be queried.
- -R [ - | jobid1 jobid2 ... ]
- Remove a job from a queue. Using - will remove all
jobs.
- -C command [ arguments ]
- Execute control commands for queue/job manipulation. The
commands are the ones of the BSD "lpc" utility. Use the control
command "help" to get a list of supported commands. Note: the
amount of commands varies with the spooler, but the same commands given
under different spoolers do the same thing.
- -i
- Interactive mode: You will be asked if foomatic-printjob is
in doubt about something. Otherwise foomatic-printjob uses auto-detection
or quits with an error.
- -S
- Save the chosen spooler as the default spooler
- -h
- Show this message or show a list of available options if a
queue is specified
