- _L_p_c is used by the system administrator to control the operation of the
- line printer system. For each line printer configured in /etc/printcap,
- _l_p_c may be used to:
-
- +o disable or enable a printer,
-
- +o disable or enable a printer's spooling queue,
-
- +o rearrange the order of jobs in a spooling queue,
-
- +o find the status of printers, and their associated spooling queues
- and printer daemons.
-
- Without any arguments, _l_p_c will prompt for commands from the standard
- input. If arguments are supplied, _l_p_c interprets the first argument as a
- command and the remaining arguments as parameters to the command. The
- standard input may be redirected causing _l_p_c to read commands from file.
- Commands may be abbreviated; the following is the list of recognized
- commands.
-
- ? [ command ... ]
-
- help [ command ... ]
- Print a short description of each command specified in the argument
- list, or, if no arguments are given, a list of the recognized
- commands.
-
- abort { all | printer ... }
- Terminate an active spooling daemon on the local host immediately
- and then disable printing (preventing new daemons from being started
- by _l_p_r) for the specified printers.
-
- clean { all | printer ... }
- Remove any temporary files, data files, and control files that
- cannot be printed (i.e., do not form a complete printer job) from
- the specified printer queue(s) on the local machine.
-
- disable { all | printer ... }
- Turn the specified printer queues off. This prevents new printer
- jobs from being entered into the queue by _l_p_r.
-
- down { all | printer } message ...
- Turn the specified printer queue off, disable printing and put
- _m_e_s_s_a_g_e in the printer status file. The message doesn't need to be
- quoted, the remaining arguments are treated like _e_c_h_o(1). This is

- normally used to take a printer down and let others know why (lpq
- will indicate the printer is down and print the status message).
-
- enable { all | printer ... }
- Enable spooling on the local queue for the listed printers. This
- will allow _l_p_r to put new jobs in the spool queue.
-
- exit
-
- quit
- Exit from lpc.
-
- restart { all | printer ... }
- Attempt to start a new printer daemon. This is useful when some
- abnormal condition causes the daemon to die unexpectedly leaving
- jobs in the queue. _L_p_q will report that there is no daemon present
- when this condition occurs. If the user is the super-user, try to
- abort the current daemon first (i.e., kill and restart a stuck
- daemon).
-
- start { all | printer ... }
- Enable printing and start a spooling daemon for the listed printers.
-
- status { all | printer ... }
- Display the status of daemons and queues on the local machine.
-
- stop { all | printer ... }
- Stop a spooling daemon after the current job completes and disable
- printing.
-
- topq printer [ jobnum ... ] [ user ... ]
- Place the jobs in the order listed at the top of the printer queue.
-
- up { all | printer ... }
- Enable everything and start a new printer daemon. Undoes the effects
- of _d_o_w_n.
