The LPQ command line utility does not work when used with a Hewlett-Packard Jet Direct card. The following error message appears:

Error: did not respond correctly.

This is because the Jet Direct card does not have the ability to monitor print queues. The LPQ command will work properly with a server that has a print queue.



MORE INFORMATION
When using TCP/IP printing services, LPQ can be used to obtain the status of a print queue on a host running the Line Printer Daemon (LPD) server. The following is the syntax for the LPQ command:

  lpq  -Sserver -Pprinter [-l]

Options:

-S server   Name or IP address of the host providing LPD service -P printer  Name of the print queue -l          Verbose output
