DESCRIPTION
foomatic-printjob provides a spooler-independent interface
to creating and managing printer jobs and print queues.
Note that the first argument changes the mode of the com-
mand, as it combines the functionality of several System V-
style printing commands.
OPTIONS
-sspooler Explicit spooler type.
-Pqueuename
Any commands specified should apply to this queue
instead of the default.
-ooption=value
Set option to value
-ooption Set the switch option
-#n Print n copies
file1 file2 ...
Files to be printed, when no file is given, stan-
dard input will be printed
-Q Query the jobs in a queue. If a list of users is

specified, only those users' jobs will be queried.
-Q -a Query the jobs in all queues. If a list of users
is specified, only those users' jobs will be
queried.
-R [ - | jobid1 jobid2 ... ]
Remove a job from a queue. Using - will remove
all jobs.
-C command [ arguments ]
Execute control commands for queue/job manipula-
tion. The commands are the ones of the BSD "lpc"
utility. Use the control command "help" to get a
list of supported commands. Note: the amount of
commands varies with the spooler, but the same
commands given under different spoolers do the
same thing.
-i Interactive mode: You will be asked if foomatic-
printjob is in doubt about something. Otherwise
foomatic-printjob uses auto-detection or quits
with an error.
-S Save the chosen spooler as the default spooler
-h Show this message or show a list of available
options if a queue is specified
