lpc [ command [ parameter(s) ] ]
lpc(8) Apple Inc. lpc(8) NAME lpc - line printer control program (deprecated) 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 displays a prompt and accepts 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] ? [command] Displays a short help message. quit Exits the command interpreter. status [queue] Displays the status of one or more printer or class queues. ATTRIBUTES See attributes(7) for descriptions of the following attributes: +---------------+------------------+ |ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +---------------+------------------+ |Availability | print/cups | +---------------+------------------+ |Stability | Volatile | +---------------+------------------+ NOTES This program is deprecated and will be removed in a future feature release of CUPS. Since lpc is geared towards the Berkeley printing system, it is impos- sible to use lpc to configure printer or class queues provided by CUPS. To configure printer or class queues you must use the lpadmin(8) com- mand or another CUPS-compatible client with that functionality.
