Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/lpinfo
Dear Maintainer,
I tried using lpinfo with a hostname and a user name, but it complains:
$ lpinfo -h gutenberg.mydomain -U myuser -l -v
lpinfo: Unknown option "U".
Usage: lpinfo [options] -m
lpinfo [options] -v
Options:
-E Encrypt the connection to the server
-h server[:port] Connect to the named server and port
-l Show verbose (long) output
-m Show models
-U username Specify the username to use for authentication
-v Show devices
--device-id device-id Show models matching the given IEEE 1284 device ID
--exclude-schemes scheme-list
Exclude the specified URI schemes
--include-schemes scheme-list
Include only the specified URI schemes
--language locale Show models matching the given locale
--make-and-model name Show models matching the given make and model name
--product name Show models matching the given PostScript product
--timeout seconds Specify the maximum number of seconds to discover
devices
These two lines in the help seem to be conflicting:
lpinfo: Unknown option "U".
[...]
-U username Specify the username to use for authentication
It does not matter where on the command line I put the -U, the outcome is
always the same, and I haven't figured out yet how to authenticate to
the server with a different user name.
Cheers,
- Roland
