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]

quit Exits the command interpreter.

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.
