15 lpstat displays status information about the current classes, jobs, and
16 printers. When run with no arguments, lpstat will list active jobs
17 queued by the current user.
18
20 The lpstat command supports the following options:
21
22 -E Forces encryption when connecting to the server.
23
24 -H Shows the server hostname and port.
25
26 -R Shows the ranking of print jobs.
27
28 -U username
29 Specifies an alternate username.
30
31 -W which-jobs
32 Specifies which jobs to show, "completed" or "not-completed" (the
33 default). This option must appear before the -o option and/or any
34 printer names, otherwise the default ("not-completed") value will
35 be used in the request to the scheduler.
36
37 -a [printer(s)]
38 Shows the accepting state of printer queues. If no printers are
39 specified then all printers are listed.
40
41 -c [class(es)]
42 Shows the printer classes and the printers that belong to them.
43 If no classes are specified then all classes are listed.
44
45 -d Shows the current default destination.
46
47 -e Shows all available destinations on the local network.
48
49 -h server[:port]
50 Specifies an alternate server.
51
52 -l Shows a long listing of printers, classes, or jobs.
53
54 -o [destination(s)]
55 Shows the jobs queued on the specified destinations. If no desti‐
56 nations are specified all jobs are shown.
57
58 -p [printer(s)]
59 Shows the printers and whether they are enabled for printing. If
60 no printers are specified then all printers are listed.
61
62 -r Shows whether the CUPS server is running.
63
64 -s Shows a status summary, including the default destination, a list
65 of classes and their member printers, and a list of printers and
66 their associated devices. This is equivalent to using the -d, -c,
67 and -v options.
68
69 -t Shows all status information. This is equivalent to using the -r,
70 -d, -c, -v, -a, -p, and -o options.
71
72 -u [user(s)]
73 Shows a list of print jobs queued by the specified users. If no
74 users are specified, lists the jobs queued by the current user.
75
76 -v [printer(s)]
77 Shows the printers and what device they are attached to. If no
78 printers are specified then all printers are listed.
79
81 Unlike the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to con‐
82 tain any printable character except SPACE, TAB, "/", and "#". Also,
83 printer and class names are not case-sensitive.
84
85 The -h, -e, -E, -U, and -W options are unique to CUPS.
86
87 The Solaris -f, -P, and -S options are silently ignored.
