Unix: print on printer on another machine (host)
Hi all,sorry for my english but i don't speak it very well.

I have a problem, i need to print a file from a unix machine to a printer on another unix machine (with another host).

I think that it's possible making a connection with telnet to this machine and after to print on the machine in wich i'm connected.

But i need to know if is possible to made this print (on another host machine) with only a command....maybe like the lpr command with an option for the host and the printer name.
I see that for the lpr there is only the parameter -P for the name on the printer...is there a command (or a parameter for lpr,lp.....) to print on a printer on a different machine with a different host???

Thanks so much for help.
Bye

xdpr

XDPR(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   XDPR(1)

NAME

       xdpr - dump an X window directly to a printer

SYNOPSIS

       xdpr [ filename ] [ -display host:display ] [ -Pprinter ] [ -device devtype ] [ option ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       Xdpr  uses  the	commands  xwd,	xpr,  and lpr or lp to dump an X window, process it for a particular printer type, and print it out on the
       printer of your choice.	This is the easiest way to get a printout of a window.	Xdpr by default will print the largest possible  represen-
       tation of the window on the output page.

       The options for xdpr are the same as those for xpr, xwd, and lpr or lp.	The most commonly-used options are described below; see the manual
       pages for these commands for more detailed descriptions of the many options available.

OPTIONS

       filename
	      Specifies a file containing a window dump (created by xwd) to be printed instead of selecting an X window.

       -Pprinter
	      Specifies a printer to send the output to.  If a printer name is not specified here, xdpr (really, lpr or lp) will send your  output
	      to  the printer specified by the PRINTER environment variable.  Be sure that type of the printer matches the type specified with the
	      -device option.

       -display host:display[.screen]
	      Normally, xdpr gets the host and display number to use from the environment variable ``DISPLAY.''  One can,  however,  specify  them
	      explicitly; see X(1).

       -device devtype
	      Specifies the device on which the file will be printed.  Currently supported:
		   la100  Digital LA100
		   ljet   HP LaserJet series and other monochrome PCL devices such as ThinkJet, QuietJet, RuggedWriter, HP2560 series, and HP 2930
			  series printers
		   ln03   Digital LN03
		   pjet   HP PaintJet (color mode)
		   pjetxl HP HP PaintJet XL Color Graphics Printer (color mode)
		   pp	  IBM PP3812
		   ps	  PostScript printer

	      The default is PostScript.  -device lw (LaserWriter) is equivalent to -device ps and is provided only for backwards compatibility.

       -help  This option displays the list of options known to xdpr.

       Any other arguments will be passed to the xwd, xpr, and lpr or lp commands as appropriate for each.

ENVIRONMENT

       DISPLAY	 which display to use by default.

       PRINTER	 which printer to use by default.
