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.
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.
- -e
- Shows all available destinations on the local network.
- -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.
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, -E, -U, and -W
options are unique to CUPS.
The Solaris -f, -P, and -S options are
silently ignored.
