<h2><a name='NAME'>Name</a></h2>
lpc - line printer control program
<h2><a name='SYNOPSIS'>Synopsis</a></h2>
<b>lpc
</b>[
<i>command
</i>[
<i>parameter(s)
</i>] ]
<h2><a name='DESCRIPTION'>Description</a></h2>
<i>lpc</i> provides limited control over printer and class queues
provided by CUPS. It can also be used to query the state of
queues.
<p>If no command is specified on the command-line, lpc will
display a prompt and accept commands from the standard input.
<h2><a name='COMMANDS'>Commands</a></h2>
The <i>lpc</i> program accepts a subset of commands accepted by
the Berkeley <i>lpc</i> program of the same name:
<dl>
<dt>exit
</dt>
<dd>Exits the command interpreter.
</dd>
<dt>help [command]
</dt>
<dt>? [command]
</dt>
<dd>Displays a short help message.
</dd>
<dt>quit
</dt>
<dd>Exits the command interpreter.
</dd>
<dt>status [queue]
</dt>
<dd>Displays the status of one or more printer or class queues.
</dd>
</dl>
<h2><a name='LIMITATIONS'>Limitations</a></h2>
Since <i>lpc</i> is geared towards the Berkeley printing system,
it is impossible to use <i>lpc</i> to configure printer or class
queues provided by CUPS. To configure printer or class queues
you must use the <a href='man-lpadmin.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages'>lpadmin(8)</a> command or another
CUPS-compatible client with that functionality.
<h2><a name='COMPATIBILITY'>Compatibility</a></h2>
The CUPS version of <i>lpc</i> does not implement all of the
standard Berkeley or LPRng commands.
