check_cups_queue
check_cups_queue can query the status of a CUPS print server on a local or remote print server. Optionally, the age of jobs in the queue can be checked for age (user defined - in days). Any jobs older than X days will alert as critical. Also outputs performance data.
Requires 'lpadmin' from CUPS package on system running the script and mktemp.

Usage: check_cups_queue -H -T -w -c -a

Notes:
-H: Hostname - Can be a hostname or IP address
-T: Type of check - Can be queue size (s) or both queu size and queue age (b)
-w: WARNING level for queue size
-c: CRITICAL level for queue size
-a: Max age of queue. Returns CRITICAL if jobs exists older than days


Example output without age check:
./check_cups_queue -H prodcups01 -T s -w 50 -c 100
OK: CUPS queue size - 3| print_jobs=3;50;100;0

Example output with age check (-a):
./check_cups_queue -H prodcups01 -T b -w 50 -c 100 -a 0
CRITICAL: Some CUPS jobs are older than 0 days| print_jobs=4;50;100;0

Example warning output:
WARNING: CUPS queue size - 5| print_jobs=5;3;10;0

Example critical output:
CRITICAL: CUPS queue size - 4| print_jobs=4;1;2;0
