NAME
lpstat - print LP status information
SYNOPSIS
lpstat [-a[list]] [-c[list]] [-d] [-o[list]] [-p[list]] [-r]
[-s] [-t] [-u[list]] [-v[list]]
DESCRIPTION
lpstat prints information about the current status of the LP
line printer system.
If no flag options are given, then lpstat prints the status
of all requests made to lp(1) by the user. Any arguments
that are not flag options are assumed to be request IDs (as
returned by lp). lpstat prints the status of such requests.
Flag 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.
