DESCRIPTION
lpstat displays status information about the current classes, jobs, and
printers. When run with no arguments, lpstat will list jobs queued by
the user. Other options include:
- -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
-
Specifies the CUPS server to communicate with.
- -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 specified then all printers are listed.
- -r
-
Shows whether or not the CUPS server is running.
- -s
-
Shows a status summary, including the system 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 "-p" options.
- -t
-
Shows all status information. This is equivalent to using the "-r",
"-d", "-c", "-d", "-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 and TAB. Also, printer and class names are
not case-sensitive.
The "-h" option is not a standard System V option.
