NAME

   lpstat - print cups status information

SYNOPSIS

   lpstat [ -E ] [ -H ] [ -U username ] [ -h hostname[:port] ] [ -l ] [ -W
   which-jobs ] [ -a [ destination(s) ] ] [ -c [ class(es) ] ] [ -d ] [ -o
   [  destination(s) ] ] [ -p [ printer(s) ] ] [ -r ] [ -R ] [ -s ] [ -t ]
   [ -u [ user(s) ] ] [ -v [ printer(s) ] ]

DESCRIPTION

   lpstat displays status information about the current classes, jobs, and
   printers.   When  run  with  no arguments, lpstat will list active jobs
   queued by the current user.

OPTIONS

   The lpstat command supports the following options:

   -E   Forces encryption when connecting to the server.

   -H   Shows the server hostname and port.

   -R   Shows the ranking of print jobs.

   -U username
        Specifies an alternate username.

   -W which-jobs
        Specifies which jobs to show, "completed" or "not-completed"  (the
        default).  This option must appear before the -o option and/or any
        printer names, otherwise the default ("not-completed") value  will
        be used in the request to the scheduler.

   -a [printer(s)]
        Shows  the  accepting state of printer queues.  If no printers are
        specified then all printers are listed.

   -c [class(es)]
        Shows the printer classes and the printers that  belong  to  them.
        If no classes are specified then all classes are listed.

   -d   Shows the current default destination.

   -h server[:port]
        Specifies an alternate server.

   -l   Shows a long listing of printers, classes, or jobs.

   -o [destination(s)]
        Shows  the  jobs  queued  on  the  specified  destinations.  If no
        destinations are specified all jobs are shown.

   -p [printer(s)]
        Shows the printers and whether they are enabled for printing.   If
        no printers are specified then all printers are listed.

   -r   Shows whether the CUPS server is running.

   -s   Shows  a status summary, including the default destination, a list
        of classes and their member printers, and a list of  printers  and
        their associated devices.  This is equivalent to using the -d, -c,
        and -v options.

   -t   Shows all status information.  This is equivalent to using the -r,
        -d, -c, -v, -a, -p, and -o options.

   -u [user(s)]
        Shows  a  list of print jobs queued by the specified users.  If no
        users are specified, lists the jobs queued by the current user.

   -v [printer(s)]
        Shows the printers and what device they are attached  to.   If  no
        printers are specified then all printers are listed.

CONFORMING TO

   Unlike  the  System  V  printing  system,  CUPS allows printer names to
   contain any printable character except SPACE, TAB, "/", and "#".  Also,
   printer and class names are not case-sensitive.

   The -h, -E, -U, and -W options are unique to CUPS.

   The Solaris -f, -P, and -S options are silently ignored.
