     NAME
          spoolserv - a print queue information daemon

     SYNOPSIS
          spoolserv [ -D ] [ -d lev ] [ -a ] [ -u user ] [ -g group ]
                [ -m archdir ] [ -f freq ] [ -k days ]

     DESCRIPTION
          spoolserv responds to queries via its own protocol used to
          monitor and manipulate print queues.  Currently the only
          client application is "Queue Master" for the Macintosh.
          This client allows users to check on jobs and move jobs
          between print queues, and remove jobs.

          The -a -u and -g options control administrator access.
          Administrator access allows users to manipulate jobs that
          they did not queue, as well as start and stop the queues.
          If the -a option is given, all users have administrator
          access.  If the -u option is given, the specified user can
          become administrator.  With -g all members of the specified
          group can become administrator.  With -u and -g the user is
          required to type their password on the Mac to gain access.
          Typing the root password will always work.  These options
          can be manipulated from the xktalk GUI.

          Another task spoolserv handles is archiving printer
          accounting files.  Without both the -m and -f options, it
          does nothing to printer accounting files.  With those two
          options, the accounting files for all printers with
          accounting enabled are merged and copied to archdir either
          daily, weekly or monthly, given freq values of 1, 2 or 3,
          respectively.  The printer accounting files are truncated
          after being copied.  The -k option gives the number of days
          that the merged accounting files should be kept.  The
          default for days is 62.  Archive files older than the given
          day limit are removed.

          If the -D option is used, spoolserv stays in the foreground
          and prints debugging information about activity.  With -d,
          the user can control which messages are printed.
