<h2 class="title"><a name="DESCRIPTION">Description</a></h2>
<b>lpadmin</b> 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"><b>lp</b>(1)</a>
or
<a href="man-lpr.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>lpr</b>(1)</a>
commands will use this destination unless the user specifies otherwise with the
<a href="man-lpoptions.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>lpoptions</b>(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="OPTIONS">Options</a></h2>
The following options are recognized when configuring a printer queue:
<dl class="man">
<dt><b>-c </b><i>class</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Adds the named <i>printer</i> to <i>class</i>.
If <i>class</i> does not exist it is created automatically.
<dt><b>-i </b><i>ppd-file</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><dt><b>-P </b><i>ppd-file</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies a PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file to use with the printer.
<dt><b>-m </b><i>model</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Sets a standard 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"><b>lpinfo</b>(8)</a>
command to get a list of supported models.
The model "raw" clears any existing PPD file and the model "everywhere" queries the printer referred to by the specified IPP <i>device-uri</i>.
Note: The "raw" model is deprecated and will not be supported in a future version of CUPS.
<dt><b>-o cupsIPPSupplies=true</b>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><dt><b>-o cupsIPPSupplies=false</b>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies whether IPP supply level values should be reported.
<dt><b>-o cupsSNMPSupplies=true</b>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><dt><b>-o cupsSNMPSupplies=false</b>

<dt><b>-o job-k-limit=</b><i>value</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Sets the kilobyte limit for per-user quotas.
The value is an integer number of kilobytes; one kilobyte is 1024 bytes.
<dt><b>-o job-page-limit=</b><i>value</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">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.
<dt><b>-o job-quota-period=</b><i>value</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Sets the accounting period for per-user quotas.
The value is an integer number of seconds; 86,400 seconds are in one day.
<dt><b>-o job-sheets-default=</b><i>banner</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><dt><b>-o job-sheets-default=</b><i>banner</i><b>,</b><i>banner</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Sets the default banner page(s) to use for print jobs.
<dt><b>-o </b><i>name</i><b>=</b><i>value</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">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"><b>lpoptions</b>(1)</a>
command.
<dt><b>-o </b><i>name</i><b>-default=</b><i>value</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Sets a default server-side option for the destination.
Any print-time option can be defaulted, e.g., "-o number-up-default=2" to set the default "number-up" option value to 2.
<dt><b>-o port-monitor=</b><i>name</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">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.
<dt><b>-o printer-error-policy=</b><i>name</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">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.
<dt><b>-o printer-is-shared=true</b>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><dt><b>-o printer-is-shared=false</b>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">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 <i>cupsd.conf</i>, while unshared/unpublished destinations are not announced.
The default value is "true".
<dt><b>-o printer-op-policy=</b><i>name</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Sets the IPP operation policy associated with the destination.
The name must be defined in the <i>cupsd.conf</i> in a Policy section.
The default operation policy is "default".
<dt><b>-R </b><i>name</i><b>-default</b>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Deletes the named option from <i>printer</i>.
<dt><b>-r </b><i>class</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Removes the named <i>printer</i> from <i>class</i>.
If the resulting class becomes empty it is removed.
<dt><b>-u allow:</b>{<i>user</i>|<b>@</b><i>group</i>}{<b>,</b><i>user</i>|<b>,@</b><i>group</i>}*
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><dt><b>-u deny:</b>{<i>user</i>|<b>@</b><i>group</i>}{<b>,</b><i>user</i>|<b>,@</b><i>group</i>}*
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><dt><b>-u allow:all</b>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><dt><b>-u deny:none</b>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Sets user-level access control on a destination.
Names starting with "@" are interpreted as UNIX groups.
The latter two forms turn user-level access control off.
Note: The user 'root' is not granted special access - using "-u allow:foo,bar" will allow users 'foo' and 'bar' to access the printer but NOT 'root'.
<dt><b>-v "</b><i>device-uri</i><b>"</b>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Sets the <i>device-uri</i> attribute of the printer queue.
Use the <i>-v</i> option with the
<a href="man-lpinfo.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>lpinfo</b>(8)</a>
command to get a list of supported device URIs and schemes.
<dt><b>-D "</b><i>info</i><b>"</b>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Provides a textual description of the destination.
<dt><b>-E</b>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Enables the destination and accepts jobs; this is the same as running the
<a href="man-cupsaccept.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>cupsaccept</b>(8)</a>
and
<a href="man-cupsenable.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>cupsenable</b>(8)</a>
programs on the destination.

<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Provides a textual location of the destination.
</dl>
<h2 class="title"><a name="CONFORMING_TO">Conforming To</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 <b>lpadmin</b> 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="NOTES">Notes</a></h2>
The CUPS version of <b>lpadmin</b> does not support all of the System V or Solaris printing system configuration options.
<h2 class="title"><a name="EXAMPLE">Example</a></h2>
Create an IPP Everywhere print queue:
<pre class="man">
lpadmin -p myprinter -E -v ipp://myprinter.local/ipp/print -m everywhere
</pre>
