NAME

rlpstat − print remote LP status information

SYNOPSIS

/usr/lib/rlpstat [ −d printer ] [ −u user ] [ id ... ]

DESCRIPTION

Rlpstat reports the status of the specified jobs or all requests associated with a user.  Without any arguments, rlpstat reports on any requests currently in the queue. 

For each request submitted (i.e., invocation of lp(1)) rlpstat reports the request ID, user’s name, total size of the request, the date of the request and, if it is being transferred, the device. 

Options

−d printer Specify a particular printer.  Otherwise, the default line printer is used (or the value of the LPDEST variable in the environment). 

-u user Status is requested on all requests for the user who executed the command rlpstat on the specified printer (see the −d option). 

id Status is requested on the specified request IDs (as returned by lp(1)). All the request IDs must be for the same printer.

AUTHOR

Rlpstat was developed by the University of California, Berkeley, and HP. 

DEPENDENCIES

Series 300 Diskless
In a clustered environment, all printers are attached to the rootserver and all spooling is handled as if the cluster were a single system.  Remote spooling applies to spooling from or to machines outside of the cluster.
