FOOMATIC-PRINTJOB(1)					      General Commands Manual					      FOOMATIC-PRINTJOB(1)

NAME

       foomatic-printjob - manage printer jobs in a spooler-independent fashion

SYNOPSIS

       foomatic-printjob [ -s spooler ] [ -P queuename ] [ -o option1=value1 -o option2 ... ] [ -i ] [ file1 file2 ... ]

       foomatic-printjob -Q [ -s spooler ] [ -P queuename ] [ -i ] [ -a ] [ user1 user2 ... ]

       foomatic-printjob -R [ -s spooler ] [ -P queuename ] [ -i ] [ - | jobid1 jobid2 ... ]

       foomatic-printjob -C [ -s spooler ] [ -i ] command [ arguments ]

       foomatic-printjob -S [ -s spooler ] [ -i ]

       foomatic-printjob -h [ -s spooler ] [ -P queuename ] [ -i ]

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

NAME

       foomatic-ppdfile - Generate a PPD file for a given printer/driver combo

SYNOPSIS

       foomatic-ppdfile [-w] [-d <driver>] -p <printerid>
       foomatic-ppdfile [-A] [-P pattern]
       foomatic-ppdfile -h

DESCRIPTION

       The first form of the foomatic-ppdfile to compute the spooler-independent Foomatic PPD file for any valid printer/driver combo available in
       the Foomatic database, both for printing with foomatic-rip(1) and for applications/clients being able to access the printer's options.  The
       PPD file is returned on standard ouput.	If the driver is not specified, the default driver is used.

       The  second form of the foomatic-ppdfile program will search the printer database and return either all printer entries or those whose name
       and/or model information match a regular expression.

       The last form prints a help message and exits.

   Options
       -d drivername
	    The (optional) driver name to use.	If the driver name is not supplied, the default or first driver in the printers compatible  driver
	    list is used.

       -p   printer id The printer id.

       -w   Return a PPD file that conforms to the Microsoft Windows format limitations.

       -A   Return all printer entries in the database.

       -Ppattern
	    Return all printer entries in the database which match the regular expression.

       SEE ALSO
	      foomatic-rip(1)

EXIT STATUS

       foomatic-ppdfile returns 0 on success, 1 otherwise.
