PRINTING USING XEROX UTILITIES AND LPR UTILITIES (DOS AND UNIX)
3-26 GUIDE TO SUBMITTING JOBS FROM THE CLIENT
lpq in UNIX
Use the lpq command to show the content of the DocuPrint printer
queue for a specific virtual printer, including the printer status, the
status of the UNIX print daemon, and the name of the host from
which the job originated.
If you do not use options to specify a particular job number or user
name, the system displays information on all jobs in the default print
queue. Refer to the lpq command man page for more information.
To display the status of a print queue, type the lpq command and its
options on the command line using the following syntax:
Syntax lpq <options>
Options The options are case sensitive. You may enter more than one option
at a time.
-Pprinter
Specifies the queue you want to view. If you do not enter this
option, the system displays information from the queue of the
printer specified in the UNIX printer variable. If the printer
variable is not set, the system uses the queue for the default
printer.
job #
Displays information on a specific job.
username
Displays only jobs submitted by a particular user.
-I
Displays the queue information in long format, including the
stapling and plex options.
+(interval)
Specifies that the system periodically display the contents of the
print queue until it is empty. If you supply a value in seconds for
the interval, the workstation waits the specified time before
displaying the queue contents.
Example The example below shows the command to display at ten-second
intervals the contents of the print queue submitted by Susan to the
printer “rushmore.”
