DESCRIPTION

       GtkLP is an graphical frontend for CUPS, the Common UNIX Printing System.
       It is used to have an easy (and graphical) access to all of the many options of cups-managed printers.

OPTIONS

       The following options are recognized by gtklp:

       -P printer
	    Use printer as default destination.

       -d printer
	    This option is equivalent to "-P".

       -c configdir
	    Use configdir to set an alternative path to the configfiles for GtkLP.

       -S server
	    The name of the CUPS-Server.

       -h server
	    The same as -S.

       -p port
	    The port of CUPS-Server, 631 per default.

       -l
	    Only list the chosen options as a list of commandline-parameters for lpr.
	    Nice for scripting purposes...

       -D
	    Debug.

       -V
	    Displays the version of GtkLP.

       -b
	    Use builtin defaults instead of saved options

       -i
	    Ignore data on stdin.
	    Sometimes useful, e.g. for printing from some versions of the Acrobat Reader.

       -U user
	    The name of the cups-User to use.

       -# n
	    Make n copies per default.

       -n n
	    The same as -#.

       -H
	    Help

       -C
	    Force console-mode

       -o option=value
	    Specify extra options, same syntax as lpr

       -E
	    Forces encryption when connecting to the server.

       -q priority
	    Specify the priority of the print job, from 1 (lowest) to 100 (highest)

       -t jobname
	    Specify the jobname

       -J jobname
	    The same as -t.

       If called as lp, the following options differ from GtkLP`s options:

       -X   Force X-Mode, even if GTKLP_FORCEX is not set to 1

       -P page-list
	    Specifies which pages to print in the  document.  The list	can  contain a list of numbers and ranges (#-#) separated by commas  (e.g.
	    1,3-5,16).

       -H handling
	    Specifies	when  the  job	should be printed. A value of immediate will print the file immediately, a value of hold will hold the job
	    indefinitely, and a time value (HH:MM) will hold the job until the	specified  time.  (does this option work ?)

       If called as lpr, the following options differ from GtkLP`s options:

       -X   Force X-Mode, even if GTKLP_FORCEX is not set to 1

       -C jobname
	    Specify the jobname

       -T jobname
	    The same as -C.

       -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 "-oprettyprint" and is only useful when printing text files.

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

       Some other options from systemv`s lp and berkeley`s lpr are ignored without error message

PATHS

       GtkLP looks for config-files under
       <configdir>
       then under
       $HOME/.gtklp/
       and at last under
       /etc/gtklp/.

       To hide Printers from users, use the following pathes:
       /etc/gtklp/accept/
       /etc/gtklp/deny/
       $HOME/.gtklp/

       Just put an empty file with the name of the printer the user should see by default to accept, put an  empty  file  with	the  name  of  the
       printer the user should never see to deny.  If only accept exists, all but the accepted printers are allowed.  If only deny exists, all but
       the denied printers are accepted.
       All users can deny accepted printers, but they can't unhide denied ones.

SPECIAL

       In GtkLP you can define a browser to open the help URL, the CUPS-Homepage and so on.  Just use the your favorite HTML browser. The first $1
       in command-line will be substituted by the URL.

       If you can't connect to an X-Server, GtkLP acts as console-lpr.

       If called as lpr, or lp, GtkLP acts on console and has some other command-line parameters, see above.

VARIABLES

       You can set the following environment variables to influence the behaviour of GtkLP:

       CUPS_SERVER
	    The default CUPS-server to connect to

       IPP_PORT
	    The default Port of the CUPS-server to connect to

       PRINTER
	    The default printer to use

       GTKLP_FORCEX
	    Set to 1 to force X-Mode for lpr and lp

ERROR

       GtkLP produces the following Error-Codes:

       0    normal program termination

       1    small error, wrong parameters, etc.

       2    Server Problems, server not found, no default printer found, etc.

       3    BAD error. Fields declared too short, too many printers, etc.
