.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fBlpget\fR utility reads printing configuration information from the
configuration databases in \fB$HOME/.printers\fR, \fB/etc/printers.conf\fR,
and \fBprinters.conf.byname\fR. This
information, called a \fIconfiguration report\fR, is displayed to the standard
output. See \fBprinters\fR(5) and \fBprinters.conf\fR(5) for information about
the printer configuration databases.
.sp
.LP
\fBlpget\fR displays a configuration report for all keys for the specified
destination or destinations by default. Use the \fB-k\fR option  to display a
configuration report for specific keys. Use the \fBlist\fR operand to display a
configuration report for all configured destinations.

.SH NOTES
.LP
Be mindful of the following if the LDAP database is used as the name service.
If the \fBldapclient\fR(8) server is a replica LDAP server, LDAP printer
database updates may not appear immediately, as the replica server may not not
have been updated by the master server and can be out of sync. For example, a
printer that you deleted by using \fBlpset\fR(8) may still appear in the
printer list you display with \fBlpget\fR until the replica is updated from the
master. Replica servers vary as to how often they are updated from the master.
Refer to the \fI\fR for more information on LDAP replication.
