DESCRIPTION

       lp submits files for printing or alters a pending job.  Use a filename of "-" to force printing 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 lp:

       --   Marks the end of options; use this to print a file whose name begins with a dash (-).

       -E   Forces encryption when connecting to the server.

       -U username
	    Specifies the username to use when connecting to the server.

       -c   This option is provided for backwards-compatibility only. On systems that support it, this option forces the print file to	be  copied
	    to the spool directory before printing.  In CUPS, print files are always sent to the scheduler via IPP which has the same effect.

       -d destination
	    Prints files to the named printer.

       -h hostname[:port]
	    Chooses an alternate server.

       -i job-id
	    Specifies an existing job to modify.

       -m   Sends an email when the job is completed.

       -n copies
	    Sets the number of copies to print.

       -o "name=value [ ... name=value ]"
	    Sets one or more job options.  See "COMMON JOB OPTIONS" below.

       -q priority
	    Sets the job priority from 1 (lowest) to 100 (highest).  The default priority is 50.

       -s   Do not report the resulting job IDs (silent mode.)

       -t "name"
	    Sets the job name.

       -H hh:mm

       -H hold

       -H immediate

       -H restart

       -H resume
	    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 UTC time value (HH:MM) will hold the job until the specified UTC (not local) time.  Use a value of resume with the
	    -i option to resume a held job.  Use a value of restart with the -i option to restart a completed job.

       -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".  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.

   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.

CONFORMING TO

       Unlike the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to contain any printable character except SPACE, TAB, "/",  or  "#".   Also,
       printer and class names are not case-sensitive.

       The  -q option accepts a different range of values than the Solaris lp command, matching the IPP job priority values (1-100, 100 is highest
       priority) instead of the Solaris values (0-39, 0 is highest priority).

EXAMPLES

       Print two copies of a document to the default printer:

	   lp -n 2 filename

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

	   lp -d foo -o media=legal -o sides=two-sided-long-edge filename

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

	   lp -d foo -o number-up=2 filename
