OPTIONS
The following options are recognized by gtklpq:

-P printer
    Use printer as default destination.

-d printer
    This option is equivalent to "-P".

-S server
    The name of the CUPS-Server.

-p port
    The port of CUPS-Server, 631 per default.

-D
    Debug.

-V

    The intervall in seconds between two queue-updates.

-g XxY
    Pop up GtkLPQ at position (X,Y).

-h
    Help

-C
    Force console-mode.

-E
    Forces encryption when connecting to the server.

If called as lpq, the following options differ from GtkLPQ`s options:

-X
    Force X-Mode, even if GTKLP_FORCEX is not set to 1

If called as lprm, the following options differ from GtkLPQ`s options:

-
    Cancel all jobs

Without any given jobs, lprm removes the current job.

If called as disable, the following options differ from GtkLPQ`s options:

-c
    Cancel all jobs

-r reason
    Give an reason, why you do so

If called as reject, the following options differ from GtkLPQ`s options:

-r reason
    Give an reason, why you do so

PATHS
To hide Printers from users, use the following pathes:
/etc/gtklp/accept/
/etc/gtklp/deny/
$HOME/.gtklp/
Just put an empty file with the name of the printer the user should see by default to accept, put an empty file with the name of the printer the user should never see to deny.
The accept values can be overwritten by the user, the deny values can't.

SPECIAL
If you can`t connect to an X-Server, GtkLPQ acts as console-lpq. If called as lpq, enable, disable, accept, or reject, GtkLPQ acts on console like these tools and has some other command-line parameters, see above.

VARIABLES
You can set the following environment variables to influence the behaviour of GtkLPQ:

CUPS_SERVER
    The default CUPS-server to connect to

IPP_PORT
    The default Port of the CUPS-server to connect to

PRINTER
    The default printer to use

GTKLP_FORCEX
    Set to 1 to force X-Mode for lpr and lp

ERROR
GtkLPQ produces the follwoing Error-Codes:

0   normal program termination

1   small error, wrong parameters, etc.

2   Server Problems, server not found, no default printer found, etc.

3   BAD error. Fields declared too short, too many printers, etc.
