Hi Jim,
The lpstat utility was dropped from the POSIX standards in 2001, but many systems will still provide it as an extension. The lpstat utility was part of the old UNIX System V line printer administration utilities and its definition at that time was hindering development of the CUPS (Common UNIX Print System) tools that were evolving at that time. CUPS frequently includes a utility named lpstat, but the output it provides is not necessarily similar to the output produced by UNIX System V or BSD variants of that utility.

Although CUPS is readily available on many systems now, it has not formally been standardized and I have not been closely enough involved in its development to make any guesses at how much variation there is in the output format used by lpstat on current systems.

You are correct in nothing that ls -l output uses month, day, hour, and minute when displaying file dates that in the range from now through six months ago. Older and newer dates use month, day, and year. (Note that when listing files found on a network, it is fairly common to see a file that has a timestamp a few milliseconds in the future if the filesystem servers aren't using network time protocol synchronization to keep their clocks in sync.)

Hope this helps,
Don

lpc-cups

lpc(8)								    Apple Inc.								    lpc(8)

NAME

       lpc - line printer control program

SYNOPSIS

       lpc [ command [ parameter(s) ] ]

DESCRIPTION

       lpc provides limited control over printer and class queues provided by CUPS. It can also be used to query the state of queues.

       If no command is specified on the command-line, lpc will display a prompt and accept commands from the standard input.

COMMANDS

       The lpc program accepts a subset of commands accepted by the Berkeley lpc program of the same name:

       exit
	    Exits the command interpreter.

       help [command]

       ? [command]
	    Displays a short help message.

       quit
	    Exits the command interpreter.

       status [queue]
	    Displays the status of one or more printer or class queues.

LIMITATIONS

       Since  lpc  is  geared  towards	the Berkeley printing system, it is impossible to use lpc to configure printer or class queues provided by
       CUPS.  To configure printer or class queues you must use the lpadmin(8) command or another CUPS-compatible client with that functionality.

COMPATIBILITY

       The CUPS version of lpc does not implement all of the standard Berkeley or LPRng commands.
