       lpq - show printer queue status

       lpq [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -h server[:port] ] [ -P
       destination[/instance] ] [ -a ] [ -l ] [ +interval ]

DESCRIPTION         top

       lpq shows the current print queue status on the named printer.  Jobs
       queued on the default destination will be shown if no printer or
       class is specified on the command-line.

       The +interval option allows you to continuously report the jobs in
       the queue until the queue is empty; the list of jobs is shown once
       every interval seconds.

       -E   Forces encryption when connecting to the server.
