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 title ] [ -J title ] [ -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/title.

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

       -U username
	    Specifies an alternate username.

       -# copies
	    Sets the number of copies to print.

       -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  equiva-
	    lent to -o raw.

       -m   Send an email on job completion.

       -o option[=value]
	    Sets a job option.	See "COMMON JOB OPTIONS" below.

       -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 submitting them.

   COMMON JOB OPTIONS
       Aside from the printer-specific options reported by the lpoptions(1) command, the following generic options are available:

       -o collate=true
	    Prints collated copies.

       -o fit-to-page
	    Scales the print file to fit on the page.

       -o job-hold-until=when
	    Holds the job until the specified local time.  "when" can be "indefinite" to hold the until released,  "day-time"  to  print  the  job
	    between  6am  and 6pm local time, "night" to print the job between 6pm and 6am local time, "second-shift" to print the job between 4pm
	    and 12am local time, "third-shift" to print the job between 12am and 8am local time, or "weekend" to print the job on Saturday or Sun-
	    day.

       -o job-hold-until=hh:mm
	    Holds the job until the specified time in hours and minutes UTC.

       -o job-priority=priority
	    Set the priority to a value from 1 (lowest) to 100 (highest), which influences when a job is scheduled for printing.  The default pri-
	    ority is typically 50.

       -o job-sheets=name
	    Prints a cover page (banner) with the document.  The "name" can be "classified", "confidential", "secret", "standard", "topsecret", or
	    "unclassified".

       -o job-sheets=start-name,end-name
	    Prints cover pages (banners) with the document.

       -o media=size
	    Sets the page size to size. Most printers support at least the size names "a4", "letter", and "legal".

       -o mirror
	    Mirrors each page.

       -o number-up={2|4|6|9|16}
	    Prints 2, 4, 6, 9, or 16 document (input) pages on each output page.

       -o number-up-layout=layout
	    Specifies the layout of pages with the "number-up" option.	The "layout" string can be "btlr", "btrl", "lrbt", "lrtb", "rlbt", "rltb",
	    "tblr", or "tbrl" - the first two letters determine the column order while the second two letters determine the row  order.   "bt"	is
	    bottom-to-top, "lr" is left-to-right, "rl" is right-to-left, and "tb" is top-to-bottom.

       -o orientation-requested=4
	    Prints the job in landscape (rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise).

       -o orientation-requested=5
	    Prints the job in landscape (rotated 90 degrees clockwise).

       -o orientation-requested=6
	    Prints the job in reverse portrait (rotated 180 degrees).

       -o outputorder=reverse
	    Prints pages in reverse order.

       -o page-border=border
	    Prints a border around each document page.	"border" is "double", "double-thick", "single", or "single-thick".

       -o page-ranges=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".  The page numbers refer to the output pages and not the document's original pages - options like  "number-up"  can  affect
	    the numbering of the pages.

       -o sides=one-sided
	    Prints on one side of the paper.

       -o sides=two-sided-long-edge
	    Prints on both sides of the paper for portrait output.

       -o sides=two-sided-short-edge
	    Prints on both sides of the paper for landscape output.

NOTES

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

EXAMPLES

       Print two copies of a document to the default printer:

	   lpr -# 2 filename

       Print a double-sided legal document to a printer called "foo":

	   lpr -P foo -o media=legal -o sides=two-sided-long-edge filename

       Print a presentation document 2-up to a printer called "foo":

	   lpr -P foo -o number-up=2 filename
