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 configure printer or class	 queues	 you  must  use	 the
       lpadmin(8) command or another CUPS-compatible client with that functionality.
