| [ |
| .I command |
| [ |
| .I parameter(s) |
| ] ] |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| \fBlpc\fR provides limited control over printer and class queues provided by CUPS. It can also be used to query the state of queues. |
| .LP |
| If no command is specified on the command-line, \fBlpc\fR displays a prompt and accepts commands from the standard input. |
| .SS COMMANDS |
| The \fBlpc\fR program accepts a subset of commands accepted by the Berkeley \fBlpc\fR program of the same name: |
| .TP 5 |
| .B exit |
| Exits the command interpreter. |
| .TP 5 |
| \fBhelp \fR[\fIcommand\fR] |
| .TP 5 |
| \fB? \fR[\fIcommand\fR] |
| Displays a short help message. |
| .TP 5 |
| .B quit |
| Exits the command interpreter. |
| .TP 5 |
| \fBstatus \fR[\fIqueue\fR] |
| Displays the status of one or more printer or class queues. |
| .SH NOTES |
| Since \fBlpc\fR is geared towards the Berkeley printing system, it is impossible to use \fBlpc\fR to configure printer or class queues provided by CUPS. |
| To configure printer or class queues you must use the |
| .BR lpadmin (8) |
| command or another CUPS-compatible client with that functionality. |
