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
