lpr(1)                                                     lpr(1)



     NAME
          lpr - off line print

     SYNOPSIS
          lpr [-Pprinter] [-#num] [-Cclass] [-Jjob] [-Ttitle]
          [-i[numcols]] [-1234font] [-wnum] [-pltndgvcfrmhs] [name...]

     DESCRIPTION
          lpr uses a spooling daemon to print the named files when
          facilities become available.  If no names appear, the
          standard input is assumed.  The -P flag option may be used
          to force output to a specific printer.  Normally, the
          default printer is used (site-dependent), or the value of
          the environment variable PRINTER is used.

          The following flag options are used to notify the line
          printer spooler that the files are not standard text files
          (the spooling daemon will use the appropriate filters to
          print the data accordingly):

          -p   Use pr(1) to format the files (equivalent to print).

          -l   Use a filter which allows control characters to be
               printed and suppresses page breaks.

          -t   The files are assumed to contain data from otroff(1).

          -n   The files are assumed to contain data from troff(1).

          -d   The files are assumed to contain data from tex(l) (DVI
               format from Stanford).

          -g   The files are assumed to contain standard plot data as
               produced by the plot(3X) routines (see also plot(1G)
               for the filters used by the printer spooler).

          -v   The files are assumed to contain a raster image for
               devices like the Benson Varian.

          -c   The files are assumed to contain data produced by
               cifplot(l).

          -f   Use a filter which interprets the first character of
               each line as a standard FORTRAN carriage control
               character.

          The remaining flag options have the following meaning:

          -r   Remove the file upon completion of spooling or upon
               completion of printing (with the -s flag option).

          -m   Send mail upon completion.

     lpr(1)                                                     lpr(1)



          -h   Suppress the printing of the burst page.

          -s   Use symbolic links.  Usually files are copied to the
               spool directory.

          The -C flag option takes the following argument as a job
          classification for use on the burst page.  For example,

               lpr -C EECS foo.c

          causes the system name (the name returned by hostname(1)) to
          be replaced on the burst page by EECS, and the file foo.c to
          be printed.

          The -J flag option takes the following argument as the job
          name to print on the burst page.  Normally, the first file's
          name is used.

          The -T flag option uses the next argument as the title used
          by pr(1) instead of the filename.

          To get multiple copies of output, use the -#num flag option,
          where num is the number of copies desired of each file
          named.  For example,

               lpr -#3 foo.c bar.c more.c

          would result in 3 copies of the file foo.c, followed by 3
          copies of the file bar.c, etc.  On the other hand,

               cat foo.c bar.c more.c | lpr -#3

          will give three copies of the concatenation of the files.

          The -i flag option causes the output to be indented.  If the
          next argument is numeric, it is used as the number of blanks
          to be printed before each line; otherwise, 8 characters are
          printed.

          The -w flag option takes the immediately following number to
          be the page width for pr.

          The -s flag option will use symlink(2) to link data files,
          rather than trying to copy them, so large files can be
          printed.  This means the files should not be modified or
          removed until they have been printed.

          The flag option -1234 specifies a font to be mounted on font
          position i.  The daemon will construct a .railmag file
          referencing /usr/lib/vfont/name.size.

     DIAGNOSTICS
          If you try to spool too large a file, it will be truncated.

          lpr will object to printing binary files.

          If a user other than root prints a file and spooling is
          disabled, lpr will print a message saying so and will not
          put jobs in the queue.

          If a connection to lpd on the local machine cannot be made,
          lpr will say that the daemon cannot be started.

          Diagnostics may be printed in the daemon's log file
          regarding missing spool files by lpd.

     NOTES
          lpr is a BSD command useful with many output devices.  lp(1)
          performs a parallel function, but is nevertheless a distinct
          command.

     BUGS
          Fonts for troff and tex reside on the host with the printer.
          It is not currently possible to use local font libraries.
