   • e.g. lpq -P _744,
2. If the output is ready, then run lpr -P _queue file-path where lpr command indicates print files
   • e.g. lpr -P _744 Path/to/file.pdf.
3. To view the information status of a print job(s) use lpstat command
   • i.e., lpstat -W [option] -o _queue -u username
   • to view completed or not-completed jobs use -W follow by your selection -this option must have to appear before -o option or any queue name e.g. -W completed,
   • to list the jobs queued in a given printer use -o option follow by the _queue e.g. -o _958_large,
   • to specify jobs completed or not-completed by a username use -u follow by username e.g. -u myusername.
   • In particular run lpstat -W completed/notcompleted -o _958_large -u myusername.
4. To cancel a printing job in queue use cancel command follow by a job listed in queue
   • run lpstat -W not-completed -o _queue -u username,
   • from the output, the first column denotes the name of the job in the e.g. _958_large-15.
