DESCRIPTION

The lp command accesses the print command for printing a file on a line
printer.  The cancel command accesses the print command to cancel a print
order.

FLAGS

The following flags for the lp command may appear in any order and may be
intermixed with filenames.

-c     Make copies of the files to be printed immediately when lp is invoked.
       Normally, files will not be copied, but will be linked whenever
       possible.  If the -c option is not given, then the user should be
       careful not to remove any of the files before the request has been
       printed in its entirely.  In the absence of the -c option, any changes
       made to the named files after the request is made but before it is
       printed are reflected in the printed output.

-m     Send mail (see mail) after the files have been printed.  By default, no
       mail is sent upon normal completion of the print request.

-nnumber
       Print number copies (default of 1) of the output.
