NAME
     lpq - show printer queue status

SYNOPSIS
     lpq [ -h server[:port] ] [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -P destination[/instance]
     ] [ -a ] [ -l ] [ +interval ]

DESCRIPTION
     lpq shows the current print queue status on the named printer.  Jobs queued
     on  the  default destination will be shown if no printer or class is speci-
     fied on the command-line.

     The +interval option allows you to continuously  report  the  jobs  in  the
     queue until the queue is empty; the list of jobs is shown once every inter-
     val seconds.

OPTIONS
     lpq supports the following options:

     -E   Forces encryption when connecting to the server.

     -P destination[/instance]
	  Specifies an alternate printer or class name.

     -U username
	  Specifies an alternate username.

     -a   Reports jobs on all printers.

     -h server[:port]
	  Specifies  an  alternate  server.  Note: This option must occur before
	  all others.

     -l   Requests a more verbose (long) reporting format.
