NAME
       lpr - print files

SYNOPSIS
       lpr [ -E ] [ -P destination ] [ -# num-copies [ -l ] [ -o option ] [ -p] [ -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 system default destination if no des-
       tination is specified). If no files are listed on the command-line lpr reads the print file from the standard input.

OPTIONS
       The following options are recognized by lpr:

       -E
	    Forces encryption when connecting to the server.

       -P destination
	    Prints files to the named printer.

       -# copies
	    Sets the number of copies to print from 1 to 100.

       -C name
	    Sets the job name.

       -J name
	    Sets the job name.

       -T name
	    Sets the job name.

       -l
	    Specifies that the print file is already formatted for the destination and should be sent without filtering. This option is equivalent
	    to "-oraw".

       -o option
	    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 "-oprettyprint" and is only useful when printing text files.

       -r
	    Specifies that the named print files should be deleted after printing them.
