NAME
       lpstat - print cups status information

SYNOPSIS
       lpstat [ -h hostname[:port] ] [ -E ] [ -H ] [ -U username ] [ -l ] [ -W which-jobs ] [ -a [ destination(s) ] ] [ -c [
       class(es)  ]  ]	[  -d  ]  [  -e ] [ -o [ destination(s) ] ] [ -p [ printer(s) ] ] [ -r ] [ -R ] [ -s ] [ -t ] [ -u [
       user(s) ] ] [ -v [ printer(s) ] ]

DESCRIPTION
       lpstat displays status information about the current classes, jobs, and printers.  When run with no arguments, lpstat
       will list active jobs queued by the current user.

OPTIONS
       The lpstat command supports the following options:

       -E   Forces encryption when connecting to the server.

       -H   Shows the server hostname and port.

       -R   Shows the ranking of print jobs.

       -U username
	    Specifies an alternate username.

       -W which-jobs
	    Specifies which jobs to show, "all", "successful", "completed" or "not-completed" (the  default).	This  option
	    must appear before the -o option and/or any printer names, otherwise the default ("not-completed") value will be
	    used in the request to the scheduler.

       -a [printer(s)]
	    Shows the accepting state of printer queues.  If no printers are specified then all printers are listed.

       -c [class(es)]
	    Shows  the	printer	 classes and the printers that belong to them.	If no classes are specified then all classes
	    are listed.

       -d   Shows the current default destination.

       -e   Shows all available destinations on the local network.

       -h server[:port]
	    Specifies an alternate server.  Note: This option must occur before all others.

       -l   Shows a long listing of printers, classes, or jobs.

       -o [destination(s)]
	    Shows the jobs queued on the specified destinations.  If no destinations are specified all jobs are shown.

       -p [printer(s)]
	    Shows the printers and whether they are enabled for printing.  If no printers are specified	 then  all  printers
	    are listed.

       -r   Shows whether the CUPS server is running.

       -s   Shows  a  status  summary, including the default destination, a list of classes and their member printers, and a
	    list of printers and their associated devices.  This is equivalent to using the -d, -c, and -v options.

       -t   Shows all status information.  This is equivalent to using the -r, -d, -c, -v, -a, -p, and -o options.

       -u [user(s)]
	    Shows a list of print jobs queued by the specified users.  If no users are specified, lists the jobs  queued  by
	    the current user.

       -v [printer(s)]
	    Shows  the	printers  and  what device they are attached to.  If no printers are specified then all printers are
	    listed.

CONFORMING TO
       Unlike the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to contain any printable character except SPACE,	TAB,
       "/", and "#".  Also, printer and class names are not case-sensitive.

       The -h, -e, -E, -U, and -W options are unique to CUPS.

       The Solaris -f, -P, and -S options are silently ignored.
