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, "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.
