Question Lpstat output in mb?

Hi all,

Newbie to the site here and fairly novice to UNIX\LINUX so please bear with me.Smilie

My question is; can the lpstat -t command show the size of the print jobs in mb or gb instead of bytes? They would be much easier to view this way.

For more information of what I'm on about; please see the attached image. Obviously the top job in lpstat is rather large and this had stalled the printer itself in this instance, but it would be good to view the actual size of it in somehting more readable like megabytes.

Is this possible?

Many thanks,

Melikins

Thelpstat utility is no longer covered by the POSIX Standards and the Single UNIX Specifications, but they never had an option to do this on any system I am aware of. Obviously, you can write an awk script to filter a specified field (or fields) from its input to transform an integral value in that(those) field(s) into strings (presumably similar to those printed by the common -h option extension to the ls utility which can be used as ls -lh to print file sizes in "human-readable" format).
