1. Below are some example of using some printer command, assuming our printer name is dcp.

to print /etc/hosts files on dcp printer
# lp -d dcp /etc/hosts

check the print queue on all connected printer
# /usr/ucb/lpq
or
# lpstat
# lpstat –o all

check print queue on dcp printer
# /usr/ucb/lpq -P dcp

delete print queue on dcp printer (root password is required)
# /usr/ucb/lprm -P dcp

2. Printer configuration
printer configuration will be stored in /etc/printer.conf
# more /etc/printer.conf

all connected printer summary
# lpstat -s

check the dcp printer server (print server)
# lpstat -v dcp

changing printer server (root password is required)
# lpadmin -p dcp -s pethsv15\!dcp
lpadmin –p -s \!
