     not options are assumed to be request IDs (as returned by
     lp).  The lpstat command prints the status of such requests.

     Some of the options 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 options causes all
     information relevant to the options to be printed, for
     example:

        lpstat -o

     prints the status of all output requests.
