hpr                          Command                          hpr




Send file to Hewlett-Packard LaserJet printer spooler

hpr [ -Bcmnr ] [ -b banner] [file ...]

hpr  lets you  print each specified  file on  the Hewlett-Packard
LaserJet  printer,  without conflicting  with  printing by  other
users.  If no file is specified, hpr prints the standard input on
the LaserJet printer.

hpr recognizes the following options:

-B   Suppress printing of a banner page.

-b   The next argument is the banner.

-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.

hpskip terminates  or restarts the current  listing.  hp converts
nroff output  into forms usable by the Laserjet;  it is also used
to describe the format of the printing.

***** Examples *****

To print the file foo on the LaserJet, type:


        hpr foo


***** Files *****

/dev/hp -- Line printer
/usr/lib/hpd -- Line printer daemon
/usr/spool/hpd -- Spool directory
