+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBlpoptions\fR displays or sets printer options and defaults.
+If no printer is specified using the \fI\-p\fR option, the default printer is used as described in
+.BR lp (1).
+.LP
+If no \fI\-l\fR, \fI\-o\fR, or \fI\-r\fR options are specified, the current options are reported on the standard output.
+.LP
+Options set with the \fBlpoptions\fR command are used by the
+.BR lp (1)
+and
+.BR lpr (1)
+commands when submitting jobs.
+.LP
+When run by the root user, \fBlpoptions\fR gets and sets default options and instances for all users in the \fI/etc/cups/lpoptions\fR file.
+Otherwise, the per-user defaults are managed in the \fI~/.cups/lpoptions\fR file.
