DESCRIPTION
     foomatic-printjob provides a spooler-independent interface to creating  and
     managing  printer	jobs  and  print  queues.   Note that the first argument
     changes the mode of the command, as it combines the functionality	of  sev-
     eral System V-style printing commands.

   OPTIONS
     -sspooler
	       Explicit spooler type.

     -Pqueuename
	       Any  commands specified should apply to this queue instead of the
	       default.

     -ooption=value
	       Set option to value

     -ooption  Set the switch option

     -#n       Print n copies

     file1  file2  ...
	       Files to be printed, when no file is given, standard  input  will
	       be printed

     -Q        Query the jobs in a queue.  If a list of users is specified, only
	       those users' jobs will be queried.

     -Q -a     Query  the  jobs in all queues.	If a list of users is specified,
	       only those users' jobs will be queried.

     -R [ - | jobid1 jobid2 ... ]
	       Remove a job from a queue.  Using - will remove all jobs.

     -C command [ arguments ]
	       Execute control commands for queue/job  manipulation.   The  com-
	       mands are the ones of the BSD "lpc" utility. Use the control com-
	       mand "help" to get a list of supported commands. Note: the amount
	       of  commands varies with the spooler, but the same commands given
	       under different spoolers do the same thing.

     -i        Interactive mode: You will be asked if  foomatic-printjob  is  in
	       doubt  about something. Otherwise foomatic-printjob uses auto-de-
	       tection or quits with an error.

     -S        Save the chosen spooler as the default spooler

     -h        Show this message or show a list of available options if a  queue
	       is specified
