| .SH NAME |
| lpc \- line printer control program |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .B lpc |
| [ |
| .I command |
| [ |
| .I parameter(s) |
| ] ] |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| \fIlpc\fR provides limited control over printer and class queues |
| provided by CUPS. It can also be used to query the state of |
| queues. |
| .LP |
| If no command is specified on the command-line, \fRlpc\fR will |
| display a prompt and accept commands from the standard input. |
| .SH COMMANDS |
| The \fIlpc\fR program accepts a subset of commands accepted by |
| the Berkeley \fIlpc\fR program of the same name: |
| .TP 5 |
| exit |
| .br |
| Exits the command interpreter. |
| .TP 5 |
| help [command] |
| .TP 5 |
| ? [command] |
| .br |
| Displays a short help message. |
| .TP 5 |
| quit |
| .br |
| Exits the command interpreter. |
| .TP 5 |
| status [queue] |
| .br |
| Displays the status of one or more printer or class queues. |
| .SH LIMITATIONS |
| Since \fIlpc\fR is geared towards the Berkeley printing system, |
| it is impossible to use \fIlpc\fR to configure printer or class |
| queues provided by CUPS. To configure printer or class queues |
| you must use the \fIlpadmin(8)\fR command or another |
| CUPS-compatible client with that functionality. |
| .SH COMPATIBILITY |
| The CUPS version of \fIlpc\fR does not implement all of the |
| standard Berkeley or LPRng commands. |
