PAPSTATUS(8)			 Netatalk 2.2			  PAPSTATUS(8)

NAME
       papstatus - get the status of an AppleTalk-connected printer

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/papstatus [-d] [-p printer] [retrytime]

DESCRIPTION
       papstatus is used to obtain the current status message from an
       AppleTalk connected printer. It uses the Printer Access Protocol (PAP)
       to obtain the status information.

       If no printer is specified on the command line, papstatus looks for a
       file called .paprc in the current directory and reads it to obtain the
       name of a printer. The .paprc file should contain a single line of the
       form object:type@zone where each of object, :type, and @zone are
       optional.  type and zone must be proceeded by `:´ and `@´ respectively.
       Blank lines and lines the begin with a `#´ are ignored.	type and zone
       default to LaserWriter and the zone of the local host, respectively.

OPTIONS
       -d
	   Turns on a debugging mode that prints some extra information to
	   standard error.

       -p printer
	   Get status from printer (do not consult any .paprc files to find a
	   printer name). The syntax for printer is the same as discussed
	   above for the .paprc file.

       retrytime
	   Normally, papstatus only gets the status from the printer once. If
	   retrytime is specified, the status is obtained repeatedly, with a
	   sleep of retrytime seconds between inquiring the printer.

FILES
       .paprc
	   file that contains printer name
