See the lpq -v format. This is probably what you want... cause I do
exactly the same thing:
h110: {104} % lpq -v |head
Printer: lp@h110 Printing: no
Aborted: no
Spooling: no
Queue: no printable jobs in queue
Server: no server active
SPOOLCONTROL=
change=0
printing_aborted=0
printing_disabled=0
Status: subserver process pid 69361 exit status 'JSUCC' at 09:27:17.713
You can get this format by using the following LPRng request:
\011printername\n
h110: {104} % printf "\011lp\n" | nc localhost 515
As they say, your mileage may vary.
