NAME

       rlpq - remote line printer queue examination program

SYNOPSIS

       rlpq   [-lmqNV]  [-Hprinthost]  [-Pprinter]  [-Xproxyhost]  [--debug]  [--timeout=seconds]
       [--port=port] [ job # ... ] [ username ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       rlpq uses TCP/IP to examine print queues for printers anywhere on a network.  Unlike  lpq,
       it  does  not  require  that  the  remote printers be explicitly known to the local system
       (traditionally through /etc/printcap), and thus is considerably more flexible and requires
       less administration.

       rlpq  can  be  used  anywhere a traditional lpq might be used, and is backwards compatible
       with traditional BSD lpq.  If  rlpq  is  invoked  as  lpq,  it  preserves  all  known  lpq
       semantics.

       rlpq  can  be set up, installed, and used in the same two ways as rlpr(1) (that is, either
       with or without the rlprd(8) proxy daemon).  Please see rlpr(1) for details,  and  to  see
       whether you will need to use the rlprd(8) proxy daemon or not.

OPTIONS

   Environment/Setup
       --debug
              Print gobs of debugging information.

       -N, --no-bind
              Don't  try  to  bind  to  privileged port before connecting to lpd.  Please see the
              CONFIGURING A PROXY section in rlpr(1) for information on use of this option.

       --port=number
              Select an alternate port (instead of 7290) to connect to, if using rlprd.   Usually
              not needed.

       -H, --printhost=host
              Select the host to print to (used with -P).

              Instead  of  using  -H, one can specify the hostname directly including it with the
              printer name with the printer@hostname syntax.

       -P, --printer=printername, --queue=printername
              Select the printer to print to (used with -H).

       -X, --proxy=proxyhost, --proxyhost=proxyhost
              Select the proxy host to use, if necessary.

       --timeout=seconds
              Set the inactivity timer.  If the connection hangs for more than  seconds  seconds,
              then  rlpq  will  give  up.   Use  the special value `-1' to wait forever.  Default
              timeout is 3 seconds.

       -V, --version
              Print version and exit.

   Behavior
       -l, --long
              Produce a more detailed report.

       -m, --mine
              List only the jobs belonging to you.

       -q, --quiet, --silent
              Quiet mode - stay quiet (except for fatal errors).  When this flag is  set,  rlpq's
              return value indicates whether there are any items in the specified queue that meet
              the specified criteria (a return value of zero indicates success).

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The following environment variables are used by rlpq:

       RLPR_PRINTHOST
              Specifies the default host's queue to examine.

       PRINTER or LPDEST
              Specifies the default printer to check on the host.
              First PRINTER is consulted, then LPDEST.

              Note that one can also specify the  host  to  examine  by  setting  printer  to  be
              printer@hostname.   This  may  be  more convenient than setting RLPR_PRINTHOST, but
              will confuse the traditional BSD print commands.

       RLPR_PROXYHOST
              Specifies a proxy host to use, if necessary.

FILES

       ~/.rlprrc         Personal printer/host database
       /etc/hosts.lpd    Host-based security on printhost
       /etc/hosts.equiv  Host-based security on printhost
       /etc/passwd       Personal identification
       /etc/rlprrc       System-wide printer/host database

BUGS / LIMITATIONS

       Due to the dynamic nature of print queues, it is possible that the  actual  state  of  the
       queue  may  have  changed  between  the time the snapshot was generated and the output was
       produced.
