- _l_p_q examines the spooling area used by _l_p_d(8) for printing
- files on the line printer, and reports the status of the
- specified jobs or all jobs associated with a user. _l_p_q
- invoked without any arguments reports on any jobs currently
- in the queue. A --PP flag may be used to specify a particular
- printer, otherwise the default line printer is used (or the
- value of the PRINTER variable in the environment). All other
- arguments supplied are interpreted as user names or job
- numbers to filter out only those jobs of interest.
-
- For each job submitted (i.e. invocation of _l_p_r(1)) _l_p_q
- reports the user's name, current rank in the queue, the
- names of files comprising the job, the job identifier (a
- number which may be supplied to _l_p_r_m(1) for removing a
- specific job), and the total size in bytes. The --ll option
- causes information about each of the files comprising the
- job to be printed. Normally, only as much information as
- will fit on one line is displayed. Job ordering is depen-
- dent on the algorithm used to scan the spooling directory
- and is supposed to be FIFO (First in First Out). File names
- comprising a job may be unavailable (when _l_p_r(1) is used as
- a sink in a pipeline) in which case the file is indicated as
- ``(standard input)".
-
- If _l_p_q warns that there is no daemon present (i.e. due to
- some malfunction), the _l_p_c(8) command can be used to restart
- the printer daemon.

- /usr/spool/* the spooling directory, as determined from printcap

- Due to the dynamic nature of the information in the spooling
- directory lpq may report unreliably. Output formatting is
- sensitive to the line length of the terminal; this can
- results in widely spaced columns.
