Examine a line printer's spool queue
lprq [-l] [-Pprinter] [jobnum ...] [user ...]
Neutrino
- -l
- Print information about each of the files comprising the
job entry. Normally, lprq displays only as much information
as fits on one line.
- -Pprinter
- The printer to query.
If you don't specify a printer, lprq queries the
default line printer (or the printer identified by the
PRINTER environment variable, if it's set). All
other arguments supplied are interpreted as user names or
job numbers to filter out only those jobs of interest.
- jobnum
- For each job submitted (i.e. invocation of
lpr),
lprq reports the user's name,
current rank in the queue, the names of files comprising the
job, the job identifier (a number that you can give to
lprrm
to remove a specific job), and the total
size in bytes.
The order of the jobs depends on the algorithm used to scan the
spooling directory and is supposed to be FIFO (First in
First Out).
Filenames comprising a job may be unavailable (when
lpr is used as a sink in a pipeline), in which
case the file is indicated as “standard input.”
If lprq warns that there's no daemon present
(i.e. due to some malfunction), you can use
lprc
to restart the printer daemon.
- user
- Specify a particular user name.
The lprq utility examines the spooling area used
by lpd for printing files on the line printer,
and reports the status of the specified jobs or all jobs
associated with a user.
If you invoke lprq without any arguments, it lists any jobs
that are currently in the queue.

This utility needs to have the setuid (“set user ID”)
bit set in its permissions.
If you use
mkefs,
mketfs,
or
mkifs
on a Windows host to include this utility in an image,
use the perms attribute to specify its permissions explicitly,
and the uid and gid attributes to set the ownership
correctly. |
- /etc/printcap
- Printer description file.
- PRINTER
- An alternate default printer.
Due to the dynamic nature of the information in the spooling
directory, lprq may report unreliably. Output
formatting is sensitive to the line length of the terminal;
this can result in widely spaced columns.
