System Administration Commands | lpget(1M) |
| lpget - get printing configuration |
SYNOPSIS
| lpget [-k key] [ destination ... | list] |
|
The lpget utility reads printing configuration information from the configuration databases in $HOME/.printers, /etc/printers.conf, printers.conf.byname, printers.org_dir, and FNS printer contexts. This information, called a configuration 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.
|
|
The following option is supported:
- -k key
- Displays a configuration report for key. See printers.conf(4) for information about specifying key.

The following operands are supported:
-
destination
- Displays a configuration report for destination. Destination can be either a printer of a class of printers, (see lpadmin(1M)). Specify destination using atomic, POSIX-style (server:destination), or Federated Naming Service (FNS) (.../service/printer/...) names. See printers.conf (4) for information regarding the naming conventions for atomic
and FNS names, and standards(5) for information concerning POSIX.
-
list
- Displays a configuration report for all configured destinations.

System Administration Guide: Naming and Directory Services

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 master. Refer to the System Administration
Guide: Naming and Directory Services for more information on LDAP replication.
