lprintq

lprintq

The lprintq command in Linux is a deprecated command that is no longer supported in most modern distributions. It was used to view the print queue using the CUPS printing system.

The syntax for the lprintq command is as follows:

lprintq [options]

The options argument specifies additional options for the lprintq command. The most common options are as follows:

• -P: Specifies the printer to view the queue for.

• -l: Lists all of the printers on the system.

• -s: Shows the status of the printer queue.

For example, the following command lists all of the printers on the system:

lprintq -l

The lprintq command is no longer supported in most modern distributions of Linux. Instead, you should use the lpstat command to view the print queue. The lpq command is a more modern and feature-rich command that can be used to view the print queue for any printer that is configured on the system.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind about the lprintq command:

• The lprintq command is deprecated and is no longer supported in most modern distributions of Linux.

• The lprintq command can only be used to view the print queue for printers that are configured using the CUPS printing system.

• The lprintq command cannot be used to view the print queue for printers that are located on different machines on the network.

It is important to be aware of these limitations when using the lprintq command, so that you do not accidentally use a command that is no longer supported or that cannot be used to view the print queue for the printers that you need to use.
