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
file1file2...
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[-|jobid1jobid2...]
Remove a job from a queue. Using - will remove all jobs.
-Ccommand[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
