7.5. lpq Verbose Format (lpq -v)

This uses an extension to the RFC1179 protocol, and is supported only by LPRng. The amount of information displayed is the brutal, and in effect does a total database dump of the LPD. This has been developed in order to provide diagnostic and status information for databases that need to keep track of job progress through a spool queue.
