NAME
lpc - line printer control program (deprecated)
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
This program is deprecated and will be removed in a future feature release of CUPS.
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.
