## SYNOPSIS

           lpc [ command [ parameter(s) ] ]

## DESCRIPTION

           lpc provides limited control over printer and class queues
           provided by CUPS. It can also be used to query  the  state
           of queues.

           If  no  command is specified on the command-line, lpc will
           display a prompt and accept  commands  from  the  standard
           input.

## COMMANDS

           The  lpc  program accepts a subset of commands accepted by
           the Berkeley lpc program of the same name:

           exit
                Exits the command interpreter.

           help [command]
                Displays a short help message.

           quit
                Exits the command interpreter.

           status [queue]
                Displays the status of one or more printer  or  class
                queues.

           ? [command]
                Display a short help message.

## LIMITATIONS

           Since  lpc is geared towards the Berkeley printing system,
           it is impossible to use lpc to configure printer or  class
           queues  provided  by  CUPS.  To configure printer or class
           queues you must use  the  lpadmin(8)  command  or  another
           CUPS-compatible client with that functionality.

## COMPATIBILITY

           The  CUPS  version  of  lpc  does not implement all of the
           standard Berkeley commands.
