System Administration Commands                          lpget(1M)



NAME
     lpget - get printing configuration

SYNOPSIS
     lpget [-k key] [destination... | list]

DESCRIPTION
     The lpget utility reads printing  configuration  information
     from   the   configuration   databases  in  $HOME/.printers,
     /etc/printers.conf,        printers.conf.byname,         and
     printers.org_dir printer.  This information, called a confi-
     guration report, is displayed to the  standard  output.  See
     printers(4)  and  printers.conf(4) for information about the
     printer configuration databases.

     lpget displays a configuration report for all keys  for  the
     specified destination or destinations by default. Use the -k
     option  to display a configuration report for specific keys.
     Use  the  list operand to display a configuration report for
     all configured destinations.

OPTIONS
     The following option is supported:

     -k key   Displays  a  configuration  report  for  key.   See
              printers.conf(4)  for  information about specifying
              key.



OPERANDS
     The following operands are supported:

     destination     Displays a configuration report for   desti-
                     nation.  Destination can be either a printer
                     of a class  of  printers.  See  lpadmin(1M).
                     Specify  destination  using atomic or POSIX-
                     style   (server:destination)   names.    See
                     printers.conf  (4) for information regarding
                     the naming conventions for atomic names  and
                     standards(5)   for   information  concerning
                     POSIX.



     list            Displays a configuration report for all con-
                     figured destinations.

NOTES
     Be mindful of the following if the LDAP database is used  as
     the  name service. If the ldapclient(1M) server is a replica
     LDAP server, LDAP printer database updates  may  not  appear
     immediately,  as  the  replica  server may not not have been
     updated by the master server and can be  out  of  sync.  For
     example,  a  printer that you deleted by using lpset(1M) may
     still appear in the printer  list  you  display  with  lpget
     until  the  replica  is  updated  from  the  master. Replica
     servers vary as to how often they are updated from the  mas-
     ter.  Refer  to  the System Administration Guide: Naming and
     Directory Services (DNS, NIS, and LDAP) for more information
     on LDAP replication.
