# pt(1)

GTK+ tool for viewing/managing print jobs in CUPS

## NAME

pt - GTK+ tool for viewing/managing print jobs in CUPS

## SYNOPSIS

**pt**\

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **pt** command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

**pt** is a configurable printing tool written in C/GTK+ for viewing and managing print jobs of the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS). You can use PT to view, delete, hold and release print jobs; even moving jobs to another printer or changing their priority is supported. Security is provided by OpenSSL support.

Further administration tasks are not implemented since this program should be easy-to-use, small and running fast on older machines.  You can save space on your desktop for really important applications by choosing which information about print jobs should be displayed.

## OPTIONS

This program has no command line options.
