$ dpkg -S lpadmin
cupsys-client: /usr/share/man/man8/lpadmin.8.gz
cupsys-client: /usr/sbin/lpadmin

Depends -- do you prefer a SysV or BSD interface? Install the
cupsys-client and cupsys-bsd packages respectively. Then use 'lp' or
'lpr'.

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair
and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be
that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet
spirit, which is of GREAT WORTH in God's sight. For this is the way the
holy women of the past used to make themselves beautiful.
