foomatic-configure −-help
foomatic-configure is a program to establish and configure print queues, drivers, spoolers, etc using the foomatic database and companion filters.
It also comprises half of a programatic API for user tools: you can learn and control everything about the static properties of print queues here. With the sister program foomatic-printjob, you can do everything related to print queue dynamic state: submit jobs, and query, cancel, reorder, and redirect them.
Options
−n queuename
Configure this print queue
−N Name/Description
Use this proper human-readable name/description
−L Location
Short phrase describing this printer’s location
−c connection
Printer is connected thusly (ex file:/dev/lp0)
|
−d driver |
Foomatic database name for desired printer driver |
−p printer
Foomatic id for printer
−s spooler
Explicit spooler type (cups, lpd, lprng, pdq, ppr, direct)
−o option=value
Set the default of option to value
|
−o option |
Turn on option by default | ||
|
−-oldppd |
Use the old CUPS-O-Matic PPD files for CUPS queues (default are the PPD-O-Matic PPDs) | ||
|
−D |
Set this queue as the default queue (just give −n queuename) | ||
|
−R |
Remove this whole queue entirely (just give −n queuename) |
−C [ sourcespooler ] sourcequeue
Copy sourcequeue from sourcespooler (or the current one if sourcespooler is not given) into the queue given by −n queuename (of the current spooler).
|
−Q |
Query existing configuration (gives XML summary) | ||
|
−r |
List also remotely defined queues (CUPS only) |
−P [ index ]
Get Perl dump of current configuration (as a Perl array named QUEUES, the first index is index, or zero if index is not given)
|
−O |
Print XML Overview of all known printer/drivers (this shows also the Foomatic IDs of the printers) | ||
|
−X |
Print XML data for −p printer and/or −d driver object | ||
|
−q |
Run quietly |

foomatic-configure returns 0 if no errors occurred.
Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de> for the foomatic project using comments from the source.
foomatic-configure currently cannot handle printcap files in the lprng style. As lprng can use BSD style printcaps this is not much of a problem, as long as the GUI based print manager lprngtool is not used. The difference between those formats is, that BSD style requires continuation lines in printer definitions to be ended with a colon and the newline character to be escaped with a backslash. Lprng has no such restriction.
To use a printcap file generated or edited with lprngtool with foomatic-configure it is necessary to add :\ to the end of all but the last line of every printer definition, just as shown below:
#comment # primary printer name lp #alternate names |lp2|lp3 |Example of a printer :sd=/usr/spool/LPD/lp :rw:lp=/dev/lp:mx#100 :
must be converted to:
#comment # primary printer name lp\ |lp2|lp3\ |Example of a printer\ :sd=/usr/spool/LPD/lp:\ :rw:lp=/dev/lp:mx#100:
