view contents of lpd print queue

[Thom Randolph]

Hello: 
I'm running Red Hat Enterprise 5, and have set up an lpd queue to a 
remote printer (a Canon iR 7086)   Jobs are held in the queue on the 
printer until manually released and printed.  While the queue seems to 
be working - jobs show up there and print properly, I do not have any 
visibility of the jobs in the queue.  The command "lpstat -t" does not 
show any jobs, nor does "lpq".  The only place I have found the jobs 
visible is through the CUPS web interface, where I can view them as 
completed jobs, although they have not been printed and are still 
sitting in the queue.  My users need visibility of the queue so they 
can check the size/status of their print jobs before notifying the 
folks who actually control the queue and do the printing - the 
information available through CUPS shows different job numbers and is 
not sufficient for their purposes. 

On the Solaris 8 server that the Linux box is replacing, the "lpstat -t" 
command shows the contents of the queue - indeed, it now shows the 
jobs from the Linux server as well, so it is clearly getting the info 
from the printer.  Is there a built-in Linux command that will do the 
same?  Is there a another package that will provide this visibility 
from the Linux server? 

Thanks for your help.
