lpstat displays status information about the current classes, jobs, and
printers. When run with no arguments, lpstat will list jobs queued by
the user. Other options include:
-E
Forces encryption when connecting to the server.
-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
Specifies the CUPS server to communicate with.
-l
Shows a long listing of printers, classes, or jobs.
-o [destination(s)]
Shows the jobs queue on the specified destinations. If no destinations are
specified all jobs are shown.
-p [printer(s)]
Shows the printers and whether or not they are enabled for printing. If
no printers are specified then all printers are listed.
-r
Shows whether or not the CUPS server is running.
-R
Shows the ranking of print jobs.
-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 "-p" options.
-t
Shows all status information. This is equivalent to using the "-r",
"-d", "-c", "-d", "-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.
-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.
COMPATIBILITY
Unlike the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names
to contain any printable character except SPACE and TAB. Also,
printer and class names are not case-sensitive.
The "-h" and "-W" options are unique to CUPS.
The Solaris "-f", "-P", and "-S" options are silently ignored.
