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.
- -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, -U, and -W options
are unique to CUPS.
The Solaris -f, -P, and -S options are silently ignored.
