NAME

       lpoptions - display or set printer options and defaults

SYNOPSIS

       lpoptions [ -E ] [ -h server[:port] ] -d destination[/instance] [ -l ]
       lpoptions [ -E ] [ -h server[:port] ] [ -p destination[/instance] ] -o option[=value] ...
       lpoptions [ -E ] [ -h server[:port] ] [ -p destination[/instance] ] -r option
       lpoptions [ -E ] [ -h server[:port] ] -x destination[/instance]

DESCRIPTION

       lpoptions  displays  or	sets printer options and defaults.  If no printer is specified using the -p option, the default printer is used as
       described in lp(1).

       If no -l, -o, or -r options are specified, the current options are reported on the standard output.

       Options set with the lpoptions command are used by the lp(1) and lpr(1) commands when submitting jobs.

       When run by the root user, lpoptions gets and sets default options and instances for all users in the /etc/cups/lpoptions file.	Otherwise,
       the per-user defaults are managed in the ~/.cups/lpoptions file.

OPTIONS

       lpoptions supports the following options:

       -E   Enables encryption when communicating with the CUPS server.

       -d destination[/instance]
	    Sets  the  user default printer to destination.  If instance is supplied then that particular instance is used.  This option overrides
	    the system default printer for the current user.

       -h server[:port]
	    Uses an alternate server.

       -l   Lists the printer specific options and their current settings.

       -o option[=value]
	    Specifies a new option for the named destination.

       -p destination[/instance]
	    Sets the destination and instance, if specified, for any options that follow.  If the named instance does not exist then  it  is  cre-
	    ated.  Destinations can only be created using the lpadmin(8) program.

       -r option
	    Removes the specified option from the named destination.

       -x destination[/instance]
	    Removes  the  options for the named destination and instance, if specified.  If the named instance does not exist then this does noth-
	    ing.  Destinations can only be removed using the lpadmin(8) command.
