lpusers

lpusers(1M)						  System Administration Commands					       lpusers(1M)

NAME

       lpusers - set printing queue priorities

SYNOPSIS

       lpusers -d priority-level

       lpusers -q priority-level -u login-ID-list

       lpusers -u login-ID-list

       lpusers -q priority-level

       lpusers -l

DESCRIPTION

       The lpusers command  sets limits to the queue priority level that can be assigned to  jobs submitted by users of the LP print service.

       The  first  form  of the command (with -d) sets the system-wide priority default to priority-level, where priority-level is a value of 0 to
       39, with 0 being the highest priority. If a user does not specify a priority level with a print request (see lp(1)), the  default  priority
       level is used. Initially, the default priority level is 20.

       The  second form of the command (with -q and -u) sets the default highest priority-level (0-39) that the users in login-ID-list can request
       when submitting a print request. The login-ID-list argument may include	any or all of the following constructs:

       login-ID 	       A user on any system

       system_name!login-ID    A user on the system system_name

       system_name!all	       All users on system system_name

       all!login-ID	       A user on all systems

       all		       All users on all systems

       Users that have been given a limit cannot submit a print request with a higher priority level than the one assigned, nor can they change  a
       request	that  has  already been submitted to have a higher priority. Any print requests submitted with priority levels higher than allowed
       will be given the highest priority allowed.

       The third form of the command (with -u)	removes any explicit priority level for the specified users.

       The fourth form of the command (with -q) sets the default highest priority level for all users not explicitly covered by  the  use  of  the
       second form of this command.

       The last form of the command (with -l)  lists the default priority level  and the priority limits assigned to users.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -d priority-level

	   Set the system-wide priority default to priority-level.

       -l

       -q priority-level

       -q priority-level -u login-ID-list

	   Set the default highest priority-level that the users in login-ID-list can request when submitting a print request.

       -u login-ID-list

	   Remove any explicit priority level for the specified users.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	       Successful completion.

       non-zero        An error occurred.
