<h2 class="title"><a name="NAME">Name</a></h2>
lpc - line printer control program
<h2 class="title"><a name="SYNOPSIS">Synopsis</a></h2>
<b>lpc</b>
[
<i>command</i>
[
<i>parameter(s)</i>
] ]
<h2 class="title"><a name="DESCRIPTION">Description</a></h2>
<b>lpc</b> 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, <b>lpc</b> displays a prompt and accepts commands from the standard input.
<h3><a name="COMMANDS">Commands</a></h3>
The <b>lpc</b> program accepts a subset of commands accepted by the Berkeley <b>lpc</b> program of the same name:
<dl class="man">
<dt><b>exit</b>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Exits the command interpreter.
<dt><b>help </b>[<i>command</i>]
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><dt><b>? </b>[<i>command</i>]
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Displays a short help message.
<dt><b>quit</b>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Exits the command interpreter.
<dt><b>status </b>[<i>queue</i>]
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Displays the status of one or more printer or class queues.
</dl>
<h2 class="title"><a name="NOTES">Notes</a></h2>
Since <b>lpc</b> is geared towards the Berkeley printing system, it is impossible to use <b>lpc</b> 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"><b>lpadmin</b>(8)</a>
command or another CUPS-compatible client with that functionality.
