        h4: {306} % lpq -=
        lpq: Illegal option '='
        usage: lpq [-aAclV] [-Ddebuglevel] [-Pprinter] [-tsleeptime]
          -a           - all printers
          -c           - clear screen before update
          -l           - increase (lengthen) detailed status information
                         additional l flags add more detail.
          -L           - maximum detailed status information
          -n linecount - linecount lines of detailed status information
          -Ddebuglevel - debug level
          -Pprinter    - specify printer
          -s           - short (summary) format
          -tsleeptime  - sleeptime between updates
          -V           - print version information

# 7.1. lpq Queue Selection (lpq -Pprinter, lpq -a)

If no queue is specified, then the default queue is used, with `-Pprinter@host` causing a direct connection to the named host. The `-a` literal selects all queues.
