lpstat - printers disable or enable

[cantubas]

i want to do a script that return me the status (disable or enable only) of my printers.
when i do "lpstat -p" i have:

printer th55_307 is idle. enabled since Apr 2 12:16
fence priority : 0
printer dj55_25 disabled since Jun 21 14:12 -
c'est pour essayer
fence priority : 0



when it is enable, enable is the 5th word and when it is disble it the 3rd.

if i use "grep able" it returns me the entire line whereas i want only disable or enable.

Something like this ?
lpstat -p | nawk '/^printer /{sub(/ since .*/,"");print $1,$2,$NF}'

Hope This Helps, PH.
