I did a very bad piece of code. The code checks for 'waiting' in `lpc 
status all`.

Perhaps this is something for you.
-----------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

my %STATUS_CODE = ('UNKNOWN'  => '-1',
                      'OK'       => '0',
                      'WARNING'  => '1',
                      'CRITICAL' => '2');
$lpc="/usr/sbin/lpc";

$count=0;

@i=`$lpc status all`;
$i_length=@i;
$num_print=($i_length)/5;

while ($count < $num_print)
   {
     if ($i[$count*5+4] =~ /waiting/)
       {
         chop $i[$count*5];
         print "$i[$count*5]"." does not work properly!\n";
         exit($STATUS_CODE{"CRITICAL"});
       }

     $count++;
   }

print "OK Everthing looks good.\n";
exit($STATUS_CODE{"OK"});
