LPSTAT(1)                       Printing Tools                       LPSTAT(1)



NAME
     lpstat - print LP status information

SYNOPSIS
     lpstat [options]

DESCRIPTION
     lpstat prints information about the current status of the LP spooling
     system.

     If no options are given, then lpstat prints the status of all requests
     made to lp(1) by the user.  Any arguments that are not options are
     assumed to be request ids (as returned by lp).  lpstat prints the status
     of such requests.  Options may appear in any order and may be repeated
     and intermixed with other arguments.  Some of the keyletters below may be
     followed by an optional list that can be in one of two forms:  a list of
     items separated from one another by a comma, or a list of items enclosed
     in double quotes and separated from one another by a comma and/or one or
     more spaces.  For example:

          -u"user1, user2, user3"

     The omission of a list following such keyletters causes all information
     relevant to the keyletter to be printed, for example:

          lpstat -o

     prints the status of all output requests.

     -a[list]    Print acceptance status (with respect to lp) of destinations
                 for requests.  List is a list of intermixed printer names and
                 class names.

     -c[list]    Print class names and their members.  List is a list of class
                 names.

     -d          Print the system default destination for lp.  If the LPDEST
                 environment variable is set, then lpstat reports that
                 variable in preference to the normal system default
                 destination.

     -o[list]    Print the status of output requests.  List is a list of
                 intermixed printer names, class names, and request ids.

     -p[list]    Print the status of printers.  List is a list of printer
                 names.

     -r          Print the status of the LP request scheduler

     -s          Print a status summary, including the system default
                 destination, a list of class names and their members, and a
                 list of printers and their associated devices.
