NAME

       lpq - show printer queue status

SYNOPSIS

       lpq [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -h server[:port] ] [ -P
       destination[/instance] ] [ -a ] [ -l ] [ +interval ]

DESCRIPTION

       lpq shows the current print queue status on the named printer.
       Jobs queued on the default destination will be shown if no
       printer or class is specified on the command-line.

       The +interval option allows you to continuously report the jobs
       in the queue until the queue is empty; the list of jobs is shown
       once every interval seconds.

OPTIONS

       lpq supports the following options:

       -E   Forces encryption when connecting to the server.

       -P destination[/instance]
            Specifies an alternate printer or class name.

       -U username
            Specifies an alternate username.

       -a   Reports jobs on all printers.

       -h server[:port]
            Specifies an alternate server.

       -l   Requests a more verbose (long) reporting format.
