description

foomatic-printjob provides a spooler-independent interface to creating and managing printer jobs and print queues. Note that the first argument changes the mode of the command, as it combines the functionality of several System V-style printing commands.

OPTIONS

-sspooler

Explicit spooler type.

-Pqueuename

Any commands specified should apply to this queue instead of the default.

-ooption=value

Set option to value

-ooption

Set the switch option

-#n

Print n copies

file1  file2  ...

Files to be printed, when no file is given, standard input will be printed

-Q

Query the jobs in a queue. If a list of users is specified, only those users’ jobs will be queried.

-Q -a

Query the jobs in all queues. If a list of users is specified, only those users’ jobs will be queried.

-R [ - | jobid1 jobid2 ... ]

Remove a job from a queue. Using - will remove all jobs.

-C command [ arguments ]

Execute control commands for queue/job manipulation. The commands are the ones of the BSD "lpc" utility. Use the control command "help" to get a list of supported commands. Note: the amount of commands varies with the spooler, but the same commands given under different spoolers do the same thing.

-i

Interactive mode: You will be asked if foomatic-printjob is in doubt about something. Otherwise foomatic-printjob uses auto-detection or quits with an error.

-S

Save the chosen spooler as the default spooler

-h

Show this message or show a list of available options if a queue is specified


bugs

This manpage still needs some editing.
