lpstat(1)                                        Apple Inc.                                        lpstat(1)



NAME
       lpstat - print cups status information

SYNOPSIS
       lpstat [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -h hostname[:port] ] [ -l ] [ -W which-jobs ] [ -a [ destination(s) ]
       ] [ -c [ class(es) ] ] [ -d ] [ -o [ destination(s) ] ] [ -p [ printer(s) ] ] [ -r ] [ -R ] [ -s ]  [
       -t ] [ -u [ user(s) ] ] [ -v [ printer(s) ] ]

DESCRIPTION
       lpstat  displays  status  information about the current classes, jobs, and printers. When run with no
       arguments, lpstat will list jobs queued by the current user.

OPTIONS
       The lpstat command supports the following options:

       -E
            Forces encryption when connecting to the server.

       -R
            Shows the ranking of print jobs.

       -U username
            Specifies an alternate username.

       -W which-jobs
            Specifies which jobs to show, completed or not-completed (the default). This option must  appear
            before  the -o option and/or any printer names, otherwise the default (not-completed) value will
            be used in the request to the scheduler.

       -a [printer(s)]
            Shows the accepting state of printer queues. If no printers are specified then all printers  are
            listed.

       -c [class(es)]
            Shows  the  printer  classes  and the printers that belong to them.  If no classes are specified
            then all classes are listed.

       -d
            Shows the current default destination.

       -h server[:port]
            Specifies an alternate server.

       -l
            Shows a long listing of printers, classes, or jobs.

       -o [destination(s)]
            Shows the jobs queue on the specified destinations. If no destinations are  specified  all  jobs
            are shown.

       -p [printer(s)]
            Shows  the  printers and whether or not they are enabled for printing. If no printers are speci-fied specified
            fied then all printers are listed.

       -r
            Shows whether the CUPS server is running.

       -s
            Shows a status summary, including the default destination, a list of classes  and  their  member
            printers,  and  a list of printers and their associated devices. This is equivalent to using the
            "-d", "-c", and "-v" options.

       -t
            Shows all status information. This is equivalent to using the  "-r",  "-d",  "-c",  "-v",  "-a",
            "-p", and "-o" options.

       -u [user(s)]
            Shows  a  list of print jobs queued by the specified users. If no users are specified, lists the
            jobs queued by the current user.

       -v [printer(s)]
            Shows the printers and what device they are attached to. If no printers are specified  then  all
            printers are listed.

COMPATIBILITY
       Unlike  the  System  V  printing system, CUPS allows printer names to contain any printable character
       except SPACE, TAB, "/", and "#".  Also, printer and class names are not case-sensitive.

       The "-h", "-E", "-U", and "-W" options are unique to CUPS.

       The Solaris "-f", "-P", and "-S" options are silently ignored.
