system-config-printer - configure a CUPS server
SYNOPSIS
system-config-printer [[--print-test-page=printer] | [--debug]]
DESCRIPTION
system-config-printer configures a CUPS server. It uses the CUPS API (bound to Python with pycups) to do this. The communication with the
server is performed using IPP. As a result, it is equally able to configure a remote CUPS server as a local one.
OPTIONS --help
Display a short usage message.
--print-test-page=printer
Show the named printer on start-up and print a test page to it.
--debug
Enable debugging output.

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.
