NAME

       lp - print files
       cancel - cancel jobs

SYNOPSIS

       lp  [ -E ] [ -c ] [ -d destination ] [ -h server ] [ -m ] [ -n num-copies [ -o option ] [ -q priority ] [ -s ] [ -t title ] [ -H handling ]
       [ -P page-list ] [ file(s) ]
       lp [ -E ] [ -c ] [ -h server ] [ -i job-id ] [ -n num-copies [ -o option ] [ -q priority ] [ -t title ] [ -H handling ] [ -P page-list ]
       cancel [ -a ] [ -h server ] [ id ] [ destination ] [ destination-id ]

DESCRIPTION

       lp submits files for printing or alters a pending job.

       cancel cancels existing print jobs. The -a option will remove all jobs from the specified destination.

OPTIONS

       The following options are recognized by lp:

       -E
	    Forces encryption 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
	    Specifies the print server hostname. The default is "localhost" or the value of the CUPS_SERVER environment variable.

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

       -m
	    Send email when the job is completed (not supported CUPS 1.1.)

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

       -o option
	    Sets a job option.

       -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 handling
	    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 time value (HH:MM) will hold the job until the specified time. Use a value of resume with the -i option to  resume
	    a held 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).

COMPATIBILITY

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

       The "m" option is not functional in CUPS 1.1.

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

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.
