LPR(1) HP-UX 5.0 LPR(1) NAME lpr - line printer spooler SYNOPSIS lpr [ option ... ] [ name ... ] HP-UX COMPATIBILITY Level: HP-UX/STANDARD Origin: System III DESCRIPTION Lpr causes the named files to be queued for printing on a line printer. If no names appear, the standard input is assumed; thus lpr may be used as a filter. If the -d option is absent, the printer /dev/lp is assumed. The following options may be given (each as a separate argument and in any order) before any file name arguments: -c Makes a copy of the file to be sent before returning to the user. -r Removes the file after sending it. -m When printing is complete, reports that fact by mail(1). -n Does not report the completion of printing by mail(1). This is the default option. -d Is followed by a printer name, and causes output to be sent to that printer. Note that lpr does not force a page-eject at the end of a printing. Thus, if printing stops in the middle of a page, the upcoming header will not begin at the appropriate place. The most common solution to this is to pipe your printing through pr(1). FILES /etc/passwd user's identification and accounting data. /usr/lib/lpd line printer daemon. /usr/spool/printername/* spool area. SEE ALSO lpd(1), pr(1).
