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 will display a prompt
and accept 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.
compatibility
The CUPS version of lpc does not implement all of the
standard Berkeley or LPRng commands.

limitations
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.
