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
I -s spooler
Explicit spooler type.
I -P queuename
Any commands specified should apply to this queue instead of the default.
I -o option=value
Set option to value
I -o option
Set the switch option
I file1 file2 ...
Files to be printed, when no file is given, standard input will be printed
I -Q
Query the jobs in a queue. If a list of users is specified, only
those users' jobs will be queried.
I -Q -a
Query the jobs in all queues. If a list of users is specified, only
those users' jobs will be queried.
I -R [ - | jobid1 jobid2 ... ]
Remove a job from a queue. Using - will remove all jobs.
I -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 -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.
I -S
Save the chosen spooler as the default spooler
I -h
Show this message or show a list of available options if a queue is specified
