[wplug] cups printer status

[Hosey, Chester]

I believe CUPS includes implementations of traditional printing
commands (lpstat, lpq, etc.). If you're using Debian, try
installing cupsys-bsd. If you're using RedHat, lpstat is included
in the cups RPM.

Try lpstat -a to start, which "shows the accepting state of
printer queues".

Apologies if I've misinterpreted the intent of your question.

Subject: [wplug] cups printer status


I'm trying to figure out when a printer is rejecting jobs. I can run
mozilla on the server and see through the cups html interface. However,
I'd like to be able to do this from the commandline. I figured out how
to use cupsenable and cupsdisable to start and stop individual printers.
Is there a way to print out all of the available printers and their
current state from the command line?
