SYNOPSIS
       lpstat  [-a[list]]  [-c[list]]  [-d   |	-r   |	-s   |	-t] [-o[list]]
       [-p[list]] [-u[list]] [-v[list]] [request_ID...]

       The lpstat command displays information about the current status of the
       line printer.

STANDARDS
       Interfaces  documented on this reference page conform to industry stan‐
       dards as follows:

       Refer to the standards(5) reference page	 for  more  information	 about
       industry standards and associated tags.

OPTIONS
       Specifies  the display of acceptance status (with respect to the lp and
       lpr commands) of destinations for requests.  The	 list  argument	 is  a
       list  of	 intermixed  printer  names  and request IDs.  Write the class
       names and their members.	 The list argument is a list of	 class	names.
       Specifies  the display of the system default destination for the lp and
       lpr commands.  Specifies the display of the status of printer requests.
       The  list  argument  is	a list of intermixed printer names and request
       IDs. Note that when combined, the -o and	 -u  options  do  not  produce
       merged  output.	 Specifies the display of the status of printers.  The
       list argument is a list of printer names.  Specifies the display of the
       status  of  the line printer daemon.  Specifies the display of a status
       summary, including the status of the line printer scheduler, the system
       default	destination,  and  a  list  of	printers  and their associated
       devices.	 Specifies the display of all status  information.   Specifies
       the  display  of the status of all printer requests.  The list argument
       is a list of usernames. The list	 argument  is  a  list	of  intermixed
       printer	names  and request IDs. Note that when combined, the -o and -u
       options do not produce merged output.  Specifies	 the  display  of  the
       names  of  printers  and	 the path names of the devices associated with
       them. The list argument is a list of printer names.

OPERANDS
       A request ID as returned by lp or lpr.

DESCRIPTION
       If no options are  given,  then	lpstat	displays  the  status  of  all
       requests	 made  by  the lp and lpr commands. Any arguments that are not
       options are assumed to be a request_ID (as returned by the  lp  or  lpr
       commands).  The lpstatcommand displays the status of such requests.

       Options can appear in any order and can be repeated and intermixed with
       other options.  Some options can be followed by an optional  list  that
       is either a list of items separated from one another by a , (comma), or
       a list of items enclosed in " " (double quotes) and separated from  one
       another	 by   a	  comma	  or   one   or	 more  spaces.	 For  example:
       -u"user1, user2, user3"

       Specifying just the option with no  arguments  causes  all  information
       pertaining to that option to be displayed.

       If the LPDEST environment variable is set to a valid printer name, this
       becomes the default destination; otherwise, PRINTER is tried and, as  a
       last resort, a system-specific printer.

NOTES
       The lpstat utility is marked LEGACY in XCU Issue 5.

       [Tru64  UNIX]  Output produced by the lpstat command is very similar to
       output from lpq and lpc, rather than output from	 earlier  versions  of
       lpstat.

EXIT STATUS
       The  following  exit  values  are  returned: Successful completion.  An
       error occurred.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       The following environment variables affect  the	execution  of  lpstat:
       Provides	 a  default  value for the internationalization variables that
       are unset or null. If LANG is unset or null,  the  corresponding	 value
       from  the  default  locale is used.  If any of the internationalization
       variables contain an invalid setting, the utility behaves as if none of
       the  variables  had  been defined.  If set to a non-empty string value,
       overrides the values of all the other  internationalization  variables.
       Determines  the	locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of
       text data as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to	multi‐
       byte  characters	 in  arguments).  Determines the locale for the format
       and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.	Deter‐
       mines  the location of message catalogues for the processing of LC_MES‐
       SAGES.  Determines the time zone used with date and time strings.

FILES
       Printer description file.  Spool directories.  Minimum  free  space  to
       leave.	Line printer devices.  Socket for local requests.  Daemon con‐
       trol files.  Data files specified in cf files.  Temporary copies of  cf
       files.	Lock  file used to obtain the process ID of the current daemon
       and the request ID of the currently active request.
