<i>lpadmin</i> configures printer and class queues provided by
CUPS. It can also be used to set the server default printer or
class.
<p>When specified before the <i>-d</i>, <i>-p</i>, or <i>-x</i>
options, the <i>-E</i> option forces encryption when connecting to
the server.
<p>The first form of the command (<i>-d</i>) sets the default printer
or class to <i>destination</i>. Subsequent print jobs submitted
via the <a href='man-lp.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages'>lp(1)</a> or <a href='man-lpr.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages'>lpr(1)</a> commands will use this
destination unless the user specifies otherwise with the
<a href='man-lpoptions.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages'>lpoptions(1)</a> command.
<p>The second form of the command (<i>-p</i>) configures the named
printer or class. The additional options are described below.
<p>The third form of the command (<i>-x</i>) deletes the printer or
class <i>destination</i>. Any jobs that are pending for the
destination will be removed and any job that is currently printed
will be aborted.
<h2 class="title"><a name="CONFIGURATION_OPTIONS">Configuration Options</a></h2>
The following options are recognized when configuring a printer
queue:
<dl>
<dt>-c class
</dt>
<dd></dd>

not exist it is created automatically.
</dd>
<dt>-i interface
</dt>
<dd></dd>
<dd>Sets a System V style interface script for the printer. This
option cannot be specified with the <i>-P</i> option (PPD file)
and is intended for providing support for legacy printer drivers.
</dd>
<dt>-m model
</dt>
<dd></dd>
<dd>Sets a standard System V interface script or PPD file for the printer from the
<i>model</i> directory or using one of the driver interfaces. Use the <i>-m</i>
option with the <a href='man-lpinfo.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages'>lpinfo(8)</a> command to get a list of supported models.

<dt>-o cupsIPPSupplies=false
</dt>
<dd></dd>
<dd>Specifies whether IPP supply level values should be reported.

<dd>Specifies whether SNMP supply level (RFC 3805) values should be reported.
</dd>
<dt>-o job-k-limit=value
</dt>
<dd></dd>
<dd>Sets the kilobyte limit for per-user quotas. The value is an
integer number of kilobytes; one kilobyte is 1024 bytes.
</dd>
<dt>-o job-page-limit=value
</dt>
<dd></dd>
<dd>Sets the page limit for per-user quotas. The value is the integer
number of pages that can be printed; double-sided pages are
counted as two pages.
</dd>
<dt>-o job-quota-period=value
</dt>
<dd></dd>
<dd>Sets the accounting period for per-user quotas. The value is an
integer number of seconds; 86,400 seconds are in one day.
</dd>
<dt>-o job-sheets-default=banner
</dt>
<dd></dd>
<dt>-o job-sheets-default=banner,banner
</dt>
<dd></dd>
<dd>Sets the default banner page(s) to use for print jobs.
</dd>
<dt>-o name=value
</dt>
<dd></dd>
<dd>Sets a PPD option for the printer. PPD options can be listed using the <i>-l</i>
option with the <a href='man-lpoptions.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages'>lpoptions(1)</a> command.
</dd>
<dt>-o name-default=value
</dt>
<dd></dd>
<dd>Sets a default server-side option for the destination. Any print-time
option can be defaulted, e.g. "-o cpi-default=17" to set the default
"cpi" option value to 17.
</dd>
<dt>-o port-monitor=name
</dt>
<dd></dd>
<dd>Sets the binary communications program to use when printing,
"none", "bcp", or "tbcp". The default program is "none". The
specified port monitor must be listed in the printer's PPD file.
</dd>
<dt>-o printer-error-policy=name
</dt>
<dd></dd>
<dd>Sets the error policy to be used when the printer backend is
unable to send the job to the printer. The name must be one of
"abort-job", "retry-job", "retry-current-job", or "stop-printer". The default
error policy is "stop-printer" for printers and "retry-current-job" for
classes.
</dd>
<dt>-o printer-is-shared=true/false
</dt>
<dd></dd>
<dd>Sets the destination to shared/published or unshared/unpublished.
Shared/published destinations are publicly announced by the server
on the LAN based on the browsing configuration in
<b>cupsd.conf</b>, while unshared/unpublished destinations are not
announced. The default value is "true".
</dd>
<dt>-o printer-op-policy=name
</dt>
<dd></dd>
<dd>Sets the IPP operation policy associated with the destination. The
name must be defined in the <b>cupsd.conf</b> in a Policy section.
The default operation policy is "default".

<dd></dd>
<dd>Deletes the named option from <i>printer</i>.
</dd>
<dt>-r class
</dt>
<dd></dd>
<dd>Removes the named <i>printer</i> from <i>class</i>. If the
resulting class becomes empty it is removed.

<dt>-u allow:user,user,@group
</dt>
<dd></dd>
<dt>-u deny:user,user,@group
</dt>
<dd></dd>
<dt>-u allow:all
</dt>
<dd></dd>
<dt>-u deny:none
</dt>
<dd></dd>

"@" are interpreted as UNIX groups. The latter two forms turn
user-level access control off.
</dd>
<dt>-v "device-uri"
</dt>
<dd></dd>
<dd>Sets the <i>device-uri</i> attribute of the printer queue. Use the <i>-v</i>

and schemes.
</dd>
<dt>-D "info"
</dt>
<dd></dd>
<dd>Provides a textual description of the destination.
</dd>
<dt>-E
</dt>
<dd></dd>
<dd>Enables the destination and accepts jobs; this is the same as running the
<a href='man-cupsaccept.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages'>cupsaccept(8)</a> and <a href='man-cupsenable.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages'>cupsenable(8)</a> programs on the destination.
</dd>
<dt>-L "location"

<dd></dd>
<dd>Provides a textual location of the destination.
</dd>
<dt>-P ppd-file

<h2 class="title"><a name="COMPATIBILITY">Compatibility</a></h2>
Unlike the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to
contain any printable character except SPACE, TAB, "/", or "#".
Also, printer and class names are <i>not</i> case-sensitive.
Finally, the CUPS version of <i>lpadmin</i> may ask the user for
an access password depending on the printing system
configuration. This differs from the System V version which
requires the root user to execute this command.
<h2 class="title"><a name="LIMITATIONS">Limitations</a></h2>
The CUPS version of <i>lpadmin</i> does not support all of the
System V or Solaris printing system configuration options.
