DESCRIPTION
       foomatic-printjob  provides a spooler-independent interface to creating
       and managing printer jobs and print queues.  Note that the first  argu‐
       ment  changes the mode of the command, as it combines the functionality
       of several System V-style printing commands.


   OPTIONS
       -sspooler Explicit spooler type.


       -Pqueuename
                 Any commands specified should apply to this queue instead  of
                 the default.


       -ooption=value
                 Set option to value


       -ooption  Set the switch option


       -#n       Print n copies


       file1  file2  ...
                 Files  to  be  printed, when no file is given, standard input
                 will be printed


       -Q        Query the jobs in a queue.  If a list of users is  specified,
                 only those users' jobs will be queried.


       -Q -a     Query  the  jobs in all queues.  If a list of users is speci‐
                 fied, only those users' jobs will be queried.


       -R [ - | jobid1 jobid2 ... ]
                 Remove a job from a queue.  Using - will remove all jobs.


       -C command [ arguments ]
                 Execute control commands  for  queue/job  manipulation.   The
                 commands  are the ones of the BSD "lpc" utility. Use the con‐
                 trol command "help" to get  a  list  of  supported  commands.
                 Note: the amount of commands varies with the spooler, but the
                 same commands given under  different  spoolers  do  the  same
                 thing.


       -i        Interactive  mode:  You will be asked if foomatic-printjob is
                 in doubt about something.  Otherwise  foomatic-printjob  uses
                 auto-detection or quits with an error.


       -S        Save the chosen spooler as the default spooler


       -h        Show  this  message  or show a list of available options if a
                 queue is specified
