lpr

lpr(1)                                                              Apple Inc.                                                              lpr(1)

NAME

       lpr - print files

SYNOPSIS

       lpr  [ -E ] [ -H server[:port] ] [ -U username ] [ -P destination[/instance] ] [ -# num-copies [ -h ] [ -l ] [ -m ] [ -o option[=value] ] [
       -p] [ -q ] [ -r ] [ -C/J/T title ] [ file(s) ]

DESCRIPTION

       lpr submits files for printing. Files named on the command line are sent to the named printer (or the default destination if no destination
       is specified). If no files are listed on the command-line, lpr reads the print file from the standard input.

THE DEFAULT DESTINATION

       CUPS  provides  many  ways to set the default destination. The "LPDEST" and "PRINTER" environment variables are consulted first. If neither
       are set, the current default set using the lpoptions(1) command is used, followed by the default set using the lpadmin(8) command.

OPTIONS

       The following options are recognized by lpr:

       -E
            Forces encryption when connecting to the server.

       -H server[:port]
            Specifies an alternate server.

       -C "name"

       -J "name"

       -T "name"
            Sets the job name.

       -P destination[/instance]
            Prints files to the named printer.

       -U username
            Specifies an alternate username.

       -# copies
            Sets the number of copies to print from 1 to 100.

       -h
            Disables banner printing. This option is equivalent to "-o job-sheets=none".

       -l
            Specifies that the print file is already formatted for the destination and should be sent without filtering. This option is equivalent
            to "-o raw".

       -m
            Send an email on job completion.

       -o option[=value]
            Sets a job option.

       -p
            Specifies  that the print file should be formatted with a shaded header with the date, time, job name, and page number. This option is
            equivalent to "-o prettyprint" and is only useful when printing text files.

       -q
            Hold job for printing.

       -r
            Specifies that the named print files should be deleted after printing them.

COMPATIBILITY

       The "c", "d", "f", "g", "i", "n", "t", "v", and "w" options are not supported by CUPS and produce a warning message if used.
