rlpq(1) UNIX Reference Manual rlpq(1) NAME rlpq - remote line printer queue examination program SYNOPSIS rlpq [-lmqNV] [-Hprinthost] [-Pprinter] [-Xproxyhost] [--debug] [--time- out=seconds] [--port=port] [ job # ... ] [ username ... ] DESCRIPTION rlpq uses TCP/IP to examine print queues for printers anywhere on a net- work. Unlike lpq, it does not require that the remote printers be explic- itly known to the local system (traditionally through /etc/printcap), and thus is considerably more flexible and requires less administration. rlpq can be used anywhere a traditional lpq might be used, and is backwards compatible with traditional BSD lpq. If rlpq is invoked as lpq, it pre- serves all known lpq semantics. rlpq can be set up, installed, and used in the same two ways as rlpr(1) (that is, either with or without the rlprd(8) proxy daemon). Please see rlpr(1) for details, and to see whether you will need to use the rlprd(8) proxy daemon or not. OPTIONS Environment/Setup --debug Print gobs of debugging information. -N, --no-bind Don't try to bind to privileged port before connecting to lpd. Please see the CONFIGURING A PROXY section in rlpr(1) for informa- tion on use of this option. --port=number Select an alternate port (instead of 7290) to connect to, if using rlprd. Usually not needed. -H, --printhost=host Select the host to print to (used with -P). Instead of using -H, one can specify the hostname directly including it with the printer name with the printer@hostname syntax. -P, --printer=printername, --queue=printername Select the printer to print to (used with -H). -X, --proxy=proxyhost, --proxyhost=proxyhost Select the proxy host to use, if necessary. --timeout=seconds Set the inactivity timer. If the connection hangs for more than seconds seconds, then rlpq will give up. Use the special value `-1' to wait forever. Default timeout is 3 seconds. -V, --version Print version and exit. Behavior -l, --long Produce a more detailed report. -m, --mine List only the jobs belonging to you. -q, --quiet, --silent Quiet mode - stay quiet (except for fatal errors). When this flag is set, rlpq's return value indicates whether there are any items in the specified queue that meet the specified criteria (a return value of zero indicates success). ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES The following environment variables are used by rlpq: RLPR_PRINTHOST Specifies the default host's queue to examine. PRINTER or LPDEST Specifies the default printer to check on the host. First PRINTER is consulted, then LPDEST. Note that one can also specify the host to examine by setting printer to be printer@hostname. This may be more convenient than setting RLPR_PRINTHOST, but will confuse the traditional BSD print commands. RLPR_PROXYHOST Specifies a proxy host to use, if necessary.
