Name
       lpc - line printer control program

Syntax
       /etc/lpc [ command [ argument...  ] ]

Description
       The  program  is used by the system administrator to control the operation of the line printer system.  For each line printer with an entry
       in the file, may be used to start/stop several different functions.

       Without any arguments, prompts for commands from the standard input.  If arguments are supplied, interprets the first argument as a command
       and  the  remaining  arguments as parameters to the command.  The standard input may be redirected causing to read commands from file.  The
       commands and their parameters are shown below.  Commands may be abbreviated.

       ? [ command... ]
       help [ command... ]

	      Prints a short description of each command specified in the argument list, or, if no arguments are given, a list of  the	recognized
	      commands.

       abort [ all ] [ printer... ]

	      Terminates  an  active  spooling	daemon on the local host immediately and then disables printing (preventing new daemons from being
	      started by for the specified printers.

       start [ all ] [ printer... ]
