lpstat(1)
NAME
lpstat − print LP status information
SYNOPSIS
lpstat [options]
DESCRIPTION
lpstat prints information about the current status of the LP line printer 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.
−o[list] Print the status of output requests. List is a list of intermixed printer names, class names, and request ids.
