APPLICATION USAGE
The lpstat utility cannot reliably determine the status of print requests in all conceivable circumstances.
When the printer is under the control of another operating system or resides on a remote system across a
network, it need not be possible to determine the status of the print job after it has left the control of the
local operating system. Even on local printers, spooling hardware in the printer may make it appear that
the print job has been completed long before the final page is printed.
EXAMPLES
1. Obtain the status of two printers, the pathnames of two printers, a list of all class names and the
status of the request named HiPri-33:
lpstat -plaser1,laser4 -v"laser2 laser3" -c HiPri-33
2. Obtain user print job status using the obsolescent mixed blank and comma form:
lpstat -u"ddg,gmv, maw"
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
A version of lpstat that fully supports the XBD specification, Section 10.2, Utility Syntax Guidelines may
be introduced in a future issue.
