Server Petri question correct???

[Rodney]

This has got to be wrong!

What is the command to check the status of a print job on a Unix-based
printer service?

a lpstat
b lpd
c lpq
d lpr
e lp

I choose (a) lpstat, but Petri's answer is (c) lpq...

I have never heard of LPQ!
Does anyone have any constructive comments??

Thanks in advance

Rodney

Hey Rodney Petri is right, LPQ is an utility used to obtain status of a
print queue on a host running the LPD server
You Should try the www.microsof.com on the search section

Shows the printer queue.
Standard SVR4 uses lpstat

LPQ is absolutely correct. You'll hear much more about it when you are
tackling TCP/IP. LPQ reports the items in the printer queue, you can also
manage documents in the queue with this utility.
