Data Lpadmin and viewing printer settings

Hi - Dummy question #1....

We either use the Hewlett Packard HPPI too or LPADMIN command to setup out printers. Is there an LPADMIN command that will show you the default config of a particular printer.

Ideally looking to see default font, CPI settings etc.

Thanks.

Try that :

lpstat -p Printer_name -l
