# 7.4. lpq Long Format (lpq, lpq -l, lpq -L)

This is the default status display. It is a nicely formatted, extremely verbose format that is suitable for humble human interpretation. For example:

        % lpq -a
        Printer: t1@astart110  'Test Printer 1' (printing disabled)
         Queue: 1 printable job
         Server: no server active
         Status: finished operations at 09:44:00
         Rank   Owner/ID                   Class Job  Files             Size Time
        1       papowell@lprng110+202228663    A 10663 /tmp/hi               3 20:22:29
        Printer: t2@astart110  'Test Printer 2' (routed/bounce to t1@h10.private)
         Queue: no printable jobs in queue
         Status: finished operations at 16:30:08
        Printer: t3@astart110  (forwarding to t3a@h10.private)
        Printer: t3a@astart110  (forwarding to t2@h10.private)
        Printer: t4@astart110  (subservers t5, t6)
         Queue: no printable jobs in queue
         Status: finished operations at 09:44:06
        Server Printer: t5@astart110  (serving t4)
         Queue: no printable jobs in queue
         Status: finished operations at 09:44:06
        Server Printer: t6@astart110  (serving t4)
         Queue: no printable jobs in queue
         Status: finished operations at 09:10:00

The `lpq -l` (longer information) option causes more of the status information to be printed. You can use increasing numbers of `lpq -l` options ( `lpq -ll` also works) to get more status. Use `lpq -L` for the maximum amount of status information.
