LPQSERVER(1M)  K-Spool by Xinet (01 May 1997 8.3)   LPQSERVER(1M)



     NAME
          lpqserver - service requests from the Macintosh K-Spool
          Monitor desk accessory

     SYNOPSIS
          /usr/etc/appletalk/lpqserver [-D] [-L] [-Z zone ] [ -O
          spoolername ] printername
          /usr/etc/appletalk/lpqserver [-D] [-L] -E command
          spoolername

     DESCRIPTION
          lpqserver is obsolete.  The functionality is now available
          in spoolserv. The lpqserver is a server that provides
          information to the Macintosh K-Spool Monitor desk accessory.
          It accepts requests from Macintoshes, and responds with
          information gained by executing lpq(1) (for lpr systems) or
          lpstat(1) (for lp systems), or by attempting to read the
          various files in the printer's spool directory.

          The lpqserver is invoked with an argument naming an entry in
          the printcap(5) file.  Flags include:

          -D   turns on debugging

          spoolername
               causes the name spoolername to appear on the Macintosh.
               It should be the same spooler name that was given to
               papserver(1m).

          -L   makes lpqserver assume lp is being used rather than lpr
               on systems where lpr is the default (SGI and SUN).
               This option is useful only on SGI machines (where the
               lp and lpr systems both exist), and the user wants to
               route the jobs through lp.

          -E   causes lpqserver to invoke command rather than lpq(1).

          The lpqserver is usually started by atinit(1m) from entries
          in the /usr/etc/appletalk/services file.

          If the printer is an AppleTalk printer, lpqserver will also
          try to update the status file if there are no jobs in the
          queue.
