     NAME
          xkspool - command-line printer queue creation/removal

     SYNOPSIS
          xkspool [ -createq qname ] -O object [ -Z zone ]
          xkspool -deleteq qname
          xkspool -rescript

     DESCRIPTION
          The program xkspool is a command-line interface to a few of
          the xktalk (1) GUI's printer maintenance duties.  It can
          create and delete printers, or can updated printer queue
          scripts.  Only the Super-User (root) may use this program.

          When run with the -O option, a printer queue will be created
          to the printer object in the default zone if no -Z option is
          specified.  The name of the queue can be supplied with the
          -createq option, but qname only overrides a queue name that
          would have been made from the object name.  The final queue
          name may still be different if qname is not unique in the
          printing system.

          With the -deleteq option, the qname printer queue is
          deleted, if it's possible to do so.

          All out-of-date printer queue scripts (for existing queues)
          may be updated with the -rescript option.  A queue's script
          is out of date if the current version being created is
          higher than the ``SV'' key in the print queue's
          /etc/printcap entry.  The ``SV'' key in /etc/printcap is NOT
          updated when scripts are updated in this way.

     DIAGNOSTICS
          xkspool exits with 0 status when the operation succeeds.  It
          exits with a non-zero status and produces one of many error
          messages to standard error when something fails.
