NAME
      lpget - get printing configuration
 


SYNOPSIS
      lpget [ -k key ]  [ destination ... | list ]
 


DESCRIPTION
      The lpget utility reads printing  configuration  information
      from   the   configuration   databases  in  $HOME/.printers,
      /etc/printers.conf, printers.conf.byname,  printers.org_dir,
      and  FNS printer contexts. This information (called a confi-
      guration report) is displayed to the  standard  output.  See
      printers(4)  and  printers.conf(4) for information about the
      printer configuration databases.
 
      lpget displays a configuration report for all keys  for  the
      specified destination or destinations by default. Use the -k
      option  to display a configuration report for specific keys.
      Use  the  list operand to display a configuration report for
      all configured destinations.
 


OPTIONS
      The following option is supported:
 
      -k key
            Displays  a  configuration   report   for   key.   See
