+<samba:parameter xmlns:samba="http://samba.org/common">
+ <term><anchor id="LPQCOMMAND"/>lpq command (S)</term>
+ <listitem><para>This parameter specifies the command to be
+ executed on the server host in order to obtain <command moreinfo="none">lpq
+ </command>-style printer status information.</para>
+
+ <para>This command should be a program or script which
+ takes a printer name as its only parameter and outputs printer
+ status information.</para>
+
+ <para>Currently nine styles of printer status information
+ are supported; BSD, AIX, LPRNG, PLP, SYSV, HPUX, QNX, CUPS, and SOFTQ.
+ This covers most UNIX systems. You control which type is expected
+ using the <parameter moreinfo="none">printing =</parameter> option.</para>
+
+ <para>Some clients (notably Windows for Workgroups) may not
+ correctly send the connection number for the printer they are
+ requesting status information about. To get around this, the
+ server reports on the first printer service connected to by the
+ client. This only happens if the connection number sent is invalid.</para>
+
+ <para>If a <parameter moreinfo="none">%p</parameter> is given then the printer name
+ is put in its place. Otherwise it is placed at the end of the
+ command.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that it is good practice to include the absolute path
+ in the <parameter moreinfo="none">lpq command</parameter> as the <envar>$PATH
+ </envar> may not be available to the server. When compiled with
+ the CUPS libraries, no <parameter moreinfo="none">lpq command</parameter> is
+ needed because smbd will make a library call to obtain the
+ print queue listing.</para>
+
+ <para>See also the <link linkend="PRINTING"><parameter moreinfo="none">printing
+ </parameter></link> parameter.</para>
+
+ <para>Default: <emphasis>depends on the setting of <parameter moreinfo="none">
+ printing</parameter></emphasis></para>
+
+ <para>Example: <command moreinfo="none">lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -P%p</command></para>
