Explanation:
The lpc topq command can be used to put a job (or jobs) at the head of the spool queue. This command is very useful when some job requires priority service. You can select the job by using the job number or the job ID.

Example:
h4: {152} % lpc topq lp 17970
Printer: lp@h4
lp: selected ‘papowell@h4+17970’
lp@h4.private: started
h4: {153} % lpq
Printer: lp@h4
Queue: 3 printable jobs
Server: pid 17999 active
Rank Owner/ID Class Job Files Size Time
active papowell@h4+17970 A 17970 (stdin) 5 18:23:35
1 papowell@h4+17959 A 17959 (stdin) 3 18:23:24
2 papowell@h4+17962 A 17962 (stdin) 6 18:23:30

This is valid for non-CUPS systems only!
