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

foomatic-configure(1) and the documentation for your print spooler.
