20<b>lpc</b> provides limited control over printer and class queues provided by CUPS. It can also be used to query the state of queues.
21<p>If no command is specified on the command-line, <b>lpc</b> displays a prompt and accepts commands from the standard input.
22<h3><a name="COMMANDS">Commands</a></h3>
23The <b>lpc</b> program accepts a subset of commands accepted by the Berkeley <b>lpc</b> program of the same name:
24<dl class="man">
25<dt><b>exit</b>
26<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Exits the command interpreter.
27<dt><b>help </b>[<i>command</i>]
28<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><dt><b>? </b>[<i>command</i>]
29<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Displays a short help message.
30<dt><b>quit</b>
31<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Exits the command interpreter.
32<dt><b>status </b>[<i>queue</i>]
33<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Displays the status of one or more printer or class queues.
34</dl>
35<h2 class="title"><a name="NOTES">Notes</a></h2>
36This program is deprecated and will be removed in a future feature release of CUPS.
37<p>Since <b>lpc</b> is geared towards the Berkeley printing system, it is impossible to use <b>lpc</b> to configure printer or class queues provided by CUPS.
38To configure printer or class queues you must use the
39<a href="man-lpadmin.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>lpadmin</b>(8)</a>
40command or another CUPS-compatible client with that functionality.
