NAME

6       lpc - line printer control program (deprecated)
7

SYNOPSIS

9       lpc [ command [ parameter(s) ] ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       lpc  provides limited control over printer and class queues provided by
13       CUPS. It can also be used to query the state of queues.
14
15       If no command is specified on the command-line, lpc displays  a  prompt
16       and accepts commands from the standard input.
17
18   COMMANDS
19       The  lpc  program accepts a subset of commands accepted by the Berkeley
20       lpc program of the same name:
21
22       exit Exits the command interpreter.
23
24       help [command]
25
26       ? [command]
27            Displays a short help message.
28
29       quit Exits the command interpreter.
30
31       status [queue]
32            Displays the status of one or more printer or class queues.
33

NOTES

35       This program is deprecated and will be removed in a future feature  re‐
36       lease of CUPS.
37
38       Since  lpc is geared towards the Berkeley printing system, it is impos‐
39       sible to use lpc to configure printer or class queues provided by CUPS.
40       To  configure  printer or class queues you must use the lpadmin(8) com‐
41       mand or another CUPS-compatible client with that functionality.
