DESCRIPTION

       foomatic-printjob provides a spooler-independent interface to creating  and  managing  printer  jobs  and
       print  queues.   Note  that  the  first  argument  changes  the  mode  of the command, as it combines the
       functionality of several System V-style printing commands.

   OPTIONS
       -sspooler Explicit spooler type.

       -Pqueuename
                 Any commands specified should apply to this queue instead of the default.

       -ooption=value
                 Set option to value

       -ooption  Set the switch option

       -#n       Print n copies

       file1  file2  ...
                 Files to be printed, when no file is given, standard input will be printed

       -Q        Query the jobs in a queue.  If a list of users is specified, only those  users'  jobs  will  be
                 queried.

       -Q -a     Query  the jobs in all queues.  If a list of users is specified, only those users' jobs will be
                 queried.

       -R [ - | jobid1 jobid2 ... ]
                 Remove a job from a queue.  Using - will remove all jobs.

       -C command [ arguments ]
                 Execute control commands for queue/job manipulation.  The commands are  the  ones  of  the  BSD
                 "lpc"  utility.  Use  the control command "help" to get a list of supported commands. Note: the
                 amount of commands varies with the  spooler,  but  the  same  commands  given  under  different
                 spoolers do the same thing.

       -i        Interactive mode: You will be asked if foomatic-printjob is in doubt about something. Otherwise
                 foomatic-printjob uses auto-detection or quits with an error.

       -S        Save the chosen spooler as the default spooler

       -h        Show this message or show a list of available options if a queue is specified
