-a [printername ...]

Displays the names and locations of the specified printers. If you do not specify a printer name, this option displays the names and locations of all printers defined in the Printer Inventory.

If you specify more than one printer name in the -a option, enclose the entire value in quotation marks. Or, you can repeat the -a option.

-d

Displays the name and location of the default printer that the administrator has defined. If there is no default printer, lpstat returns an error message.

Tip:

This option does not display the name or location of a default printer that you defined with the LPDEST or PRINTER environment variable. To display the values of these variables, use the z/OS® UNIX echo command.

If you specify more than one printer name in the -o option, enclose the entire value in quotation marks. Or, you can repeat the -o option.

-p [printername ...]

Displays the names and locations of the specified printers. If you do not specify a printer name, this option displays the names and locations of all printers defined in the Printer Inventory.

If you specify more than one printer name in the -p option, enclose the entire value in quotation marks. Or, you can repeat the -p option.

-t

If you specify -u without a user name, this option displays information about all jobs that all users submitted to any printer.

The user ID is case-sensitive. Use the exact uppercase and lowercase characters.

If you specify more than one user name in the -u option, enclose the entire value in quotation marks. Or, you can repeat the -u option.
