foomatic-printjob − manage printer jobs in a spooler-independent fashion
SYNOPSIS
foomatic-printjob [ -s spooler ] [ -P queuename ] [ -o option1=value1 -o option2 … ] [ -i ] [ file1 file2 … ]
foomatic-printjob -Q [ -s spooler ] [ -P queuename ] [ -i ] [ -a ] [ user1 user2 … ]
foomatic-printjob -R [ -s spooler ] [ -P queuename ] [ -i ] [ − | jobid1 jobid2 … ]
foomatic-printjob -C [ -s spooler ] [ -i ] command [ arguments ]
foomatic-printjob -S [ -s spooler ] [ -i ]
foomatic-printjob -h [ -s spooler ] [ -P queuename ] [ -i ]
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 |
