Additional +qualifiers may follow, depending on the request. +.DS +.TS +l l. +Request Interpretation +_ +^Aprinter\en check the queue for jobs and print any found +^Bprinter\en receive and queue a job from another machine +^Cprinter [users ...] [jobs ...]\en return short list of current queue state +^Dprinter [users ...] [jobs ...]\en return long list of current queue state +^Eprinter person [users ...] [jobs ...]\en remove jobs from a queue +.TE +.DE +.PP +The \fIlpr\fP\|(1) command +is used by users to enter a print job in a local queue and to notify +the local +.I lpd +that there are new jobs in the spooling area. +.I Lpd +either schedules the job to be printed locally, or if +printing remotely, attempts to forward +the job to the appropriate machine. +If the printer cannot be opened or the destination +machine is unreachable, the job will remain queued until it is +possible to complete the work. +.NH 2 +lpq \- show line printer queue +.PP +The \fIlpq\fP\|(1) +program works recursively backwards displaying the queue of the machine with +the printer and then the queue(s) of the machine(s) that lead to it. +.I Lpq +has two forms of output: in the default, short, format it +gives a single line of output per queued job; in the long +format it shows the list of files, and their sizes, that +comprise a job. +.NH 2 +lprm \- remove jobs from a queue +.PP +The \fIlprm\fP\|(1) command deletes jobs from a spooling +queue. If necessary, \fIlprm\fP will first kill off a +running daemon that is servicing the queue and restart +it after the required files are removed. When removing +jobs destined for a remote printer, \fIlprm\fP acts +similarly to \fIlpq\fP except it first checks locally +for jobs to remove and then +tries to remove files in queues off-machine. +.NH 2 +lpc \- line printer control program +.PP +The +.IR lpc (8) +program is used by the system administrator to control the +operation of the line printer system. +For each line printer configured in /etc/printcap, +.I lpc +may be used to: +.IP \(bu +disable or enable a printer, +.IP \(bu +disable or enable a printer's spooling queue, +.IP \(bu +rearrange the order of jobs in a spooling queue, +.IP \(bu +find the status of printers, and their associated +spooling queues and printer daemons. |
