The command "lpstat -E" is used in a Unix-based operating system to display the current print queue status and any error messages associated with print jobs.

Here's a breakdown of the command components:

"lpstat": This is the main command used to display information about the print queues on the system. It can show details such as printer status, queued jobs, and completed jobs.
"-E": This is an option or flag passed to the "lpstat" command. In this context, the "-E" flag stands for "error" or "fault" and is used to display any error messages related to print jobs in the queue.

When you run the "lpstat -E" command, it will provide you with a list of print jobs that encountered errors, along with specific error messages that describe the issues. This can be helpful when troubleshooting problems with print jobs that fail or do not complete successfully.
