       foomatic-printjob -R [ -s spooler ] [ -P queuename ] [ -i ] [ - | jobid1 jobid2 ... ]

       foomatic-printjob -C [ -s spooler ] [ -i ] command [ arguments ]

       foomatic-printjob -S [ -s spooler ] [ -i ]

       foomatic-printjob -h [ -s spooler ] [ -P queuename ] [ -i ]


DESCRIPTION
       foomatic-printjob  provides a spooler-independent interface to creating and managing printer jobs and print queues.  Note
       that the first argument 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 specified, 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 control 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-print-
                 job 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
