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  release
     of CUPS.

     Since  lpc is geared towards the Berkeley printing system, it is impossible
     to use lpc to configure printer or class queues provided by CUPS.	To  con-
     figure  printer  or class queues you must use the lpadmin(8) command or an-
     other CUPS-compatible client with that functionality.
