NAME
lpadmin - configure cups printers and classes
SYNOPSIS
lpadmin [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -h server[:port] ] -d destination
lpadmin [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -h server[:port] ] -p destination [ -R
name-default ] option(s)
lpadmin [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -h server[:port] ] -x destination
DESCRIPTION
lpadmin configures printer and class queues provided by CUPS. It can
also be used to set the server default printer or class.
When specified before the -d, -p, or -x options, the -E option forces
encryption when connecting to the server.
The first form of the command (-d) sets the default printer or class to
destination. Subsequent print jobs submitted via the lp(1) or lpr(1)
commands will use this destination unless the user specifies otherwise
with the lpoptions(1) command.
The second form of the command (-p) configures the named printer or
class. The additional options are described below.
The third form of the command (-x) deletes the printer or class desti-
nation. Any jobs that are pending for the destination will be removed
and any job that is currently printed will be aborted.
OPTIONS
The following options are recognized when configuring a printer queue:
-c class
Adds the named printer to class. If class does not exist it is
created automatically.
-i ppd-file
-P ppd-file
Specifies a PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file to use with
the printer.
-m model
Sets a standard PPD file for the printer from the model directory
or using one of the driver interfaces. Use the -m option with the
lpinfo(8) command to get a list of supported models. The model
"raw" clears any existing PPD file and the model "everywhere"
queries the printer referred to by the specified IPP device-uri.
Note: The "raw" model is deprecated and will not be supported in a
future version of CUPS.
-o cupsIPPSupplies=true
-o cupsIPPSupplies=false
Specifies whether IPP supply level values should be reported.
-o cupsSNMPSupplies=true
-o cupsSNMPSupplies=false
Specifies whether SNMP supply level (RFC 3805) values should be
reported.
-o job-k-limit=value
Sets the kilobyte limit for per-user quotas. The value is an in-
teger number of kilobytes; one kilobyte is 1024 bytes.
-o job-page-limit=value
Sets the page limit for per-user quotas. The value is the integer
number of pages that can be printed; double-sided pages are
counted as two pages.
-o job-quota-period=value
Sets the accounting period for per-user quotas. The value is an
integer number of seconds; 86,400 seconds are in one day.
-o job-sheets-default=banner
-o job-sheets-default=banner,banner
Sets the default banner page(s) to use for print jobs.
-o name=value
Sets a PPD option for the printer. PPD options can be listed us-
ing the -l option with the lpoptions(1) command.
-o name-default=value
Sets a default server-side option for the destination. Any print-
time option can be defaulted, e.g., "-o number-up-default=2" to
set the default "number-up" option value to 2.
-o port-monitor=name
Sets the binary communications program to use when printing,
"none", "bcp", or "tbcp". The default program is "none". The
specified port monitor must be listed in the printer's PPD file.
-o printer-error-policy=name
Sets the error policy to be used when the printer backend is un-
able to send the job to the printer. The name must be one of
"abort-job", "retry-job", "retry-current-job", or "stop-printer".
The default error policy is "stop-printer" for printers and
"retry-current-job" for classes.
-o printer-is-shared=true
-o printer-is-shared=false
Sets the destination to shared/published or unshared/unpublished.
Shared/published destinations are publicly announced by the server
on the LAN based on the browsing configuration in cupsd.conf,
while unshared/unpublished destinations are not announced. The
default value is "true".
-o printer-op-policy=name
Sets the IPP operation policy associated with the destination.
The name must be defined in the cupsd.conf in a Policy section.
The default operation policy is "default".
-R name-default
Deletes the named option from printer.
-r class
Removes the named printer from class. If the resulting class be-
comes empty it is removed.
-u allow:{user|@group}{,user|,@group}*
-u deny:{user|@group}{,user|,@group}*
-u allow:all
-u deny:none
Sets user-level access control on a destination. Names starting
with "@" are interpreted as UNIX groups. The latter two forms
turn user-level access control off. Note: The user 'root' is not
granted special access - using "-u allow:foo,bar" will allow users
'foo' and 'bar' to access the printer but NOT 'root'.
-v "device-uri"
Sets the device-uri attribute of the printer queue. Use the -v
option with the lpinfo(8) command to get a list of supported de-
vice URIs and schemes.
-D "info"
Provides a textual description of the destination.
-E Enables the destination and accepts jobs; this is the same as run-
ning the cupsaccept(8) and cupsenable(8) programs on the destina-
tion.
-L "location"
Provides a textual location of the destination.
CONFORMING TO
Unlike the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to con-
tain any printable character except SPACE, TAB, "/", or "#". Also,
printer and class names are not case-sensitive. Finally, the CUPS ver-
sion of lpadmin may ask the user for an access password depending on
the printing system configuration. This differs from the System V ver-
sion which requires the root user to execute this command.
NOTES
The CUPS version of lpadmin does not support all of the System V or So-
laris printing system configuration options.
EXAMPLE
Create an IPP Everywhere print queue:
lpadmin -p myprinter -E -v ipp://myprinter.local/ipp/print -m everywhere
