- _l_p_q examines the spooling area used by _l_p_d(1M) 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 ----PPPP 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 ----llll 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 dependent 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(1M) command can be used to restart the printer
- daemon.

- 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.

- files when there is no daemon active, but files in the spooling
