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

- -#n
- Print n copies
- file1
file2 …

- -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

- -S
- Save the chosen spooler as the default spooler
- -h
