NAME
lpstat - print information about the status of the LP print service
SYNOPSIS
lpstat [options]
DESCRIPTION
The lpstat command prints information about the current status of the
LP print service.
If no options are given, then lpstat prints the status of all the
user's print requests made by lp [see lp(1)]. Any arguments that are
not options are assumed to be request-IDs as returned by lp. The
lpstat command prints the status of such requests. The 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 separated
from one another by spaces enclosed in quotes. For example:
-u "user1, user2, user3"
Specifying all after any keyletter that takes list as an argument
causes all information relevant to the keyletter to be printed. For
example, the command
lpstat -o all
prints the status of all output requests.
The omission of a list following such key letters causes all
information relevant to the key letter to be printed. For example,
the command
lpstat -o
prints the status of all output requests.
-a [list]
Reports whether print destinations are accepting requests. list
is a list of intermixed printer names and class names.
-c [list]
Reports name of all classes and their members. list is a list
of class names.
-d Reports the system default destination for output requests.
-f [list] [-l]
Prints a verification that the forms in list are recognized by
the LP print service. list is a list of forms; the default is
all. The -l option will list the form descriptions.

intermixed printer names, class names, and request-IDs. The
keyletter -o may be omitted.
-p [list] [-D] [-l]
Reports the status of printers. list is a list of printer
names. If the -D option is given, a brief description is
printed for each printer in list. If the -l option is given,
and the printer is on the local machine, a full description of
each printer's configuration is given, including the form
mounted, the acceptable content and printer types, a printer
description, the interface used, and so on. If the -l option is
given and the printer is remote, the only information given is
the remote machine and printer names, and the shell-commands
used for file transfer and remote execution.

-s Displays a status summary, including the status of the LP
scheduler, the system default destination, a list of class names
and their members, a list of printers and their associated

character sets and print wheels.

Prints a verification that the character sets or the print
wheels specified in list are recognized by the LP print service.
Items in list can be character sets or print wheels; the default
for the list is all. If the -l option is given, each line is
appended by a list of printers that can handle the print wheel
or character set. The list also shows whether the print wheel
or character set is mounted or specifies the built-in character
set into which it maps.
-t Displays all status information: all the information obtained
with the -s option, plus the acceptance and idle/busy status of
all printers.
