31\fB\-c\fR | \fB\-\-charge\fR p[,j]
32Sets the price per page and per job to charge

36.TP
37\fB\-i\fR | \fB\-\-ingroups\fR g1[,g2...]

43Edit users print quotas, this is the default.
44.TP
45\fB\-P\fR | \fB\-\-printer\fR p
46Edit quotas on printer p only. Actually p can
47use wildcards characters to select only

52.TP
53\fB\-G\fR | \fB\-\-pgroups\fR pg1[,pg2...] Adds the printer(s) to the printer groups
54pg1, pg2, etc... which must already exist.
55A printer group is just like a normal printer,
56only that it is usually unknown from the printing
57system. Create printer groups exactly the same
58way that you create printers, then add other
59printers to them with this option.
60Accounting is done on a printer and on all
61the printer groups it belongs to, quota checking
62is done on a printer and on all the printer groups
63it belongs to.

90the total paid so far by the user is decreased
91too.
