Thanks to everone's suggestions. Here is what I ended up doing. This command gets all print queue info for any queues with 5 or more pending jobs. I also put it in a script where it emails me the output, and run the script from cron twice a day.
note: the "awk '/:$/ {print ""};{print}'" inserts a blank line in betwen every lpc stat entry, so I can use the grep -p later.
/usr/sbin/lpc stat | awk '/:$/ {print ""};{print}' | /sbin/grep -p "entries in spool area" | /sbin/grep -p -v -E -w '2 entries|3 entries|4 entries'

I have tried to grep with the Tru64 special paragraph delimiter (-p), or awk between lines ('/something/,/something/'), or use multiline sed output, but I'm not quite there. Perl is not on this machine. From the lpc stat output example below, I would want lp1: plus the four lines below it as output. Any thoughts?
