lpstat(1)                        DG/UX R4.11                       lpstat(1)


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.

       On a DG/UX system with security features added, the user will only
       see the jobs that his current process clearance (MAC label)
       dominates.

       -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.

       On a generic DG/UX system: -o [list] [-l]

       On a system with DG/UX information security:
            -o [list] [-l] [-M]

       Reports the status of output requests: list is a list of intermixed
       printer names, class names, and request-IDs.  The keyletter -o may be
       omitted.  If the -l option is given, then additional status is
       provided including the target printer queue, the requested form and
       the character set.  On a system with DG/UX information security, if
       the -M option is used, then the MAC label of the process that
       submitted the job is printed.

       On a generic DG/Ux system:
              -p [list] [-D] [-l]

       On a system with DG/UX information security:
              -p [list] [-D] [-l] [-M] 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.  On a system with DG/UX information security, if
              the -M option is used, then if the user has appropriate
              privilege or if the process clearance dominates the upper
              bound of the printer MAC range, the printer MAC range is
              displayed.  If the process clearance dominates the lower bound
              of the printer MAC range, that lower bound is displayed.

       -r     Reports whether the LP request scheduler is on or off.

       On a system with DG/UX information security: -R
              Reports the Rank in the queue of the job.

       -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 devices, a list of the machines sharing print
              services, a list of all forms currently mounted, and a list of
              all recognized character sets and print wheels.

       -S [list] [-l]
              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.

       On a generic DG/UX system: -t

       On a system with DG/UX information security: -t [-M]
              Displays all status information: all the information obtained
              with the -s option, plus the acceptance and idle/busy status
              of all printers.

       -u [login-ID-list]
              Displays the status of output requests for users.  The login-
              ID-list argument may include any or all of the following
              constructs:

            login-ID       a user on any system

            systemname!login-ID
                           a user on system systemname

            systemname!all
                           all users on system systemname

            all!login-ID   a user on all systems

            all            all users on all systems

       -v [list]
            Reports the names of printers and the pathnames of the devices
            associated with them or remote system names for network
            printers: list is a list of printer names.

NOTES
       On a generic DG/UX system, appropriate privilege is granted by having
       an effective UID of 0 (root).  See the appropriateprivilege(5) man
       page for more information.

       On a system with DG/UX information security, appropriate privilege is
       granted by having one or more specific capabilities enabled in the
       effective capability set of the user.  See the capdefaults(5) man
       page for more information.

       Only local printers are supported on this release of the DG/UX System
       with security features added.
