lpc (UNIX only)

GUIDE TO SUBMITTING JOBS FROM THE CLIENT
PRINTING USING XEROX UTILITIES AND LPR UTILITIES (DOS AND UNIX)
Use the lpc command to control the flow of jobs from your workstation
to the virtual printers at the Xerox DocuPrint Printer Controller. Refer
to the lpc command man page for more information.
To control printer operation, type the lpc command and its options on
the command line using the following syntax:
Syntax lpc <options>
Options The options are case sensitive. You may enter more than one option
at a time. All the lpc options except help, status, and exit | quit require
root privileges.
Enter the option, then specify whether the option applies to all
printers, or just to the printer you name (the machine that executes
the lpc command, not the DocuPrint Printer Controller).
To use lpc options, enter lpc without options. A lpc> prompt displays.
At this prompt you can enter the following options:
disable <all | printername>
Turns off the specified printer queues.
enable <all | printername>
Enables spooling on the local queue for the printers listed.
exit | quit
Allows you to leave the lpc> mode and return to the system
prompt.
help <command>
Displays a brief description of each command you specify. If you
do not enter any, a list of the recognized commands displays.
start <all | printername>
Enables printing and starts spooling for the printers listed.
status <all | printername>
Displays the status of the printers specified.
stop <all | printername>
Stops spooling after the current job completes and disables
printing.
topq printer <job#><user>
Moves the print jobs specified by job ID# or user name to the top
of the printer queue. This option is available only if the job has
not already been sent to the printer.
up <all | printername>
Enables all printing processes. This option is not available if you
are using Digital UNIX.
