Is this possible, and if so... (4 Replies)

lpr(1) Apple Inc. lpr(1)
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/J/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.
-P destination[/instance]
Prints files to the named printer.
-U username
Specifies an alternate username.
-# copies
Sets the number of copies to print from 1 to 100.
-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 equivalent
to "-o raw".
-m
Send an email on job completion.
-o option[=value]
Sets a job option.
-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 printing them.
COMPATIBILITY
The "c", "d", "f", "g", "i", "n", "t", "v", and "w" options are not supported by CUPS and produce a warning message if used.
