LPSTAT(1) —
NAME
lpstat − print information about status of LP print service
SYNOPSIS
lpstat [options]
DESCRIPTION
lpstat prints information about the current status of the LP print service.
If no options are given, then lpstat prints the status of all requests made to lp(1) by the users. Any arguments that are not options are assumed to be request-ids (as returned by lp), printers, or printer classes. lpstat prints the status of such requests, printers, or printer classes. 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 enclosed in double quotes and separated from one another by a comma and/or one or more spaces. For example:
−u "user1, user2, user3"
Specifying "all" after any keyletters that take "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.
−a [list] Print acceptance status (with respect to lp) of destinations for requests [see accept(1M)]. List is a list of intermixed printer names and class names; the default is all.
−c [list] Print class names and their members. List is a list of class names; the default is all.
−d Print the system default destination for lp.
−f [list] [−l]
Print a verification that the forms in form-list are recognized by the LP print service. The −l option will list the form descriptions.
−o [list] [−l]
Print the status of output requests. List is a list of intermixed printer names, class names, and request-ids; the default is all. The −l option gives a more detailed status of the request.
−p [list] [−D] [−l]
Print the status of printers named in list. If the −D option is given, a brief description is printed for each printer in list. If the −l option is given, 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.
−r Print the status of the LP request scheduler.
−s Print a status summary, including the system default destination, a list of class names and their members, a list of printers and their associated devices, a list of all forms currently mounted, and a list of all recognized character sets and print wheels.
−S [list] [−l]
Print 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 Print all status information.
−u [list] Print status of output requests for users. List is a list of login names. The default is all.
−v [list] Print the names of printers and the path names of the devices associated with them. List is a list of printer names. The default is all.
