7.4. lpq Long Format (lpq, lpq -l, lpq -L)

This is the default status display. It is a nicely formatted, extremely verbose format that is suitable for humble human interpretation. For example:

    % lpq -a

The lpq -l (longer information) option causes more of the status information to be printed. You can use increasing numbers of lpq -l options ( lpq -ll also works) to get more status. Use lpq -L for the maximum amount of status information.
