I'm sorry for this missunderstanding. I love man pages!! I use them at least
10 times per day and can't live without them.

What I mean is:
If you want to know the most significant characteristics from lpadmin, then
you should look into the man page. But if you want to know how to create
and manage a printer queue, then you should read a good documentation (with
examples, graphics, ... and whatever you need to understand).

Documentations and manuals have different jobs, so they can't replace each
other.  ;)


best regards!
