lpr Command lpr Send to line printer spooler lpr [-cmnr] [-b banner] [file ...] lpr lets a user print each specified file on the line printer, without conflicting with printing by other users. If no file is specified, lpr prints the standard input on the line printer. lpr recognizes the following options: -B Suppress printing of a banner. b banner Print banner at the beginning of the file. The default ban- ner is the user's login name. c Copy the files (allowing changes to be made before the prin- ting completes). m Send a message when the printing completes. n Do not send a message (default). r Remove the files when they have been spooled. The command lpskip aborts or restarts the current listing. ***** Files ***** /dev/lp -- Line printer /usr/lib/lpd -- Line printer daemon /usr/spool/lpd -- Spool directory /usr/spool/lpd/dpid -- Daemon lockfile ***** See Also ***** commands, lpd, lpskip, pr COHERENT Lexicon Page 1
