condor_status and condor_q each take the argument =-pr[intf-format] <file>=
where =<file>= has the following syntax:

{code}
SELECT [BARE | NOTITLE | NOHEADER | NOSUMMARY] [LABEL] [SEPARATOR <string>] [RECORDPREFIX <string>] [FIELDPREFIX <string>] [FIELDSUFFIX <string>]
    <expr> [AS <string>] [PRINTF <format-string> | PRINTAS <function-name> | WIDTH [AUTO | [-]<INT>] ] [TRUNCATE] [LEFT | RIGHT] [NOPREFIX] [NOSUFFIX]
    ... repeat the above line as needed...
[WHERE <constraint-expr>]
[GROUP BY <sort-expr> [ASCENDING | DECENDING] ]
[SUMMARY [STANDARD | NONE]]
{endcode}

*: Lines beginning with # are comments
*: escapes such as \n and \t are translated for most <string> arguments.
*: <strings> may be wrapped in " or ',  but can't contain imbedded quotes of the same type as the outer quote, (the parser currently doesn't support escaping of quotes).
*: if no quotes are used around <string> arguments, the first whitespace ends the argument.
*: statements end at a newline, there is no line-continuation character.
<expr> arguments may be wrapped in quotes like strings with the same rules applying regarding nested strings.
*: =GROUP BY= currently only controls sorting, the code does not yet do any kind of aggregating.
*: =PRINTAS=, =PRINTF= & =WIDTH= are not entirely mutually exclusive, but more than one will play strangely together,  there's actually a bunch of "intelligence" in the pretty printer code regarding the correct way to format strings vs numbers that's not desirable here but can't be disabled, you may need to play with combinations of formatting options to get things to line up perfectly.  for instance negative WIDTH statements and the LEFT keyword _should_ be interchangeable, but they aren't at present.
Available keywords for PRINTAS can be found only in the code. search for CustomFormatFnTable, you should find one table in queue.cpp and one in prettyPrint.cpp (for condor_status).
*: be aware that many PRINTAS functions are very special case and pay little or no attention to the attribute that they are told to print.

You can set the default output of condor_status and/or condor_q to use one of these files by setting config parameters:

for condor_status
{verbatim}    STATUS_DEFAULT_<adtype>_PRINT_FORMAT_FILE=<file>{endverbatim}
*: =<adtype>= can be one of the following ad type(s){linebreak}
=DEFRAG, STARTD,  SCHEDD, SUBMITTOR, MASTER, CKPT_SRVR, GATEWAYS, COLLECTOR, NEGOTIATOR, GRID, LICENSE, STORAGE, ANY, GENERIC=

for condor_q
{verbatim}    Q_DEFAULT_PRINT_FORMAT_FILE=<file>
    Q_DEFAULT_<arg>_PRINT_FORMAT_FILE=<file>
{endverbatim}
*: =<arg>= can be =RUN, HOLD, GOODPUT, GLOBUS, GRID= corresponding to the -run, -hold, etc arguments to condor_q
