NAME
       lpc - line printer control program (deprecated)

SYNOPSIS
       lpc [ command [ parameter(s) ] ]

DESCRIPTION
       lpc  provides limited control over printer and class queues provided by
       CUPS. It	can also be used to query the state of queues.

       If no command is	specified on the command-line, lpc displays  a	prompt
       and accepts commands from the standard input.

   COMMANDS
       The  lpc	 program accepts a subset of commands accepted by the Berkeley
       lpc program of the same name:

       exit Exits the command interpreter.

       help [command]

       ? [command]
	    Displays a short help message.

       quit Exits the command interpreter.

       status [queue]
	    Displays the status	of one or more printer or class	queues.

NOTES
       This program is deprecated and will be removed in a future feature  re-
       lease of	CUPS.

       Since  lpc is geared towards the	Berkeley printing system, it is	impos-
       sible to	use lpc	to configure printer or	class queues provided by CUPS.
       To configure printer or class queues you	must use the  lpadmin(8)  com-
       mand or another CUPS-compatible client with that	functionality.
