NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     lpstat - print LP status information

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     lpstat [options]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     lpstat prints information about the current status	of the LP spooling
     system.

     If	no options are given, then lpstat prints the status of all requests
     made to lp(1) by the user.	 Any arguments that are	not options are
     assumed to	be request ids (as returned by lp).  lpstat prints the status
     of	such requests.	Options	may appear in any order	and may	be repeated
     and intermixed with other arguments.  Some	of the keyletters below	may be
     followed by an optional list that can be in one of	two forms:  a list of
     items separated from one another by a comma, or a list of items enclosed
     in	double quotes and separated from one another by	a comma	and/or one or
     more spaces.  For example:

	  -u"user1, user2, user3"

     The omission of a list following such keyletters causes all information
     relevant to the keyletter to be printed, for example:

	  lpstat -o

     prints the	status of all output requests.

     -a[list]	 Print acceptance status (with respect to lp) of destinations
		 for requests.	List is	a list of intermixed printer names and
		 class names.

     -c[list]	 Print class names and their members.  List is a list of class
		 names.

     -d		 Print the system default destination for lp.  If the LPDEST
		 environment variable is set, then lpstat reports that
		 variable in preference	to the normal system default
		 destination.

     -o[list]	 Print the status of output requests.  List is a list of
		 intermixed printer names, class names,	and request ids.

     -p[list]	 Print the status of printers.	List is	a list of printer
		 names.

     -r		 Print the status of the LP request scheduler

     -s		 Print a status	summary, including the system default
		 destination, a	list of	class names and	their members, and a
		 list of printers and their associated devices.
