lpq - show printer queue status

lpq [ -h */server/[:*/port/] ] [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -P */destination/[*/*/instance/] ] [ *-a ] [ -l ] [ *+*/interval/ ]

lpq shows the current print queue status on the named printer. Jobs queued on the default destination will be shown if no printer or class is specified on the command-line.

The +interval option allows you to continuously report the jobs in the queue until the queue is empty; the list of jobs is shown once every interval seconds.

lpq supports the following options:

-E

Forces encryption when connecting to the server.

*-P */destination/[*/*/instance/]

Specifies an alternate printer or class name.

*-U */username/

Specifies an alternate username.

-a

Reports jobs on all printers.

-h */server/[:*/port/]

Specifies an alternate server. Note: This option must occur before all others.

-l

Requests a more verbose (long) reporting format.
