LPR(1)                  GENIX Programmer's Manual                  LPR(1)



      NAME
           lpr, lprm, lpq, print - line printer spooler

      SYNOPSIS
           lpr [ -m ] [ -s ] [name ... ]
           lprm [[ -s ][ -a ] [ id ...  ] [ filename ...  ] [ owner ...  ]
           lpq
           print file ...

      DESCRIPTION
           Lpr causes the named files to be queued for printing.  If  no  files
           are named, the standard input is read.  The option -m causes notifi-
           cation via mail(1) to be sent when the job completes.

           Lprm removes an entry from a line printer queue. The default  is  to
           remove  files  from the parallel queue, but -s causes the program to
           operate on the serial queue.  Individual files  can  be  removed  by
           providing  an  id,  filename or owner reported by lpq, while -a will
           remove all of the files on the queue.  The id of each  file  removed
           from the queue will be printed.

           Lpq prints the serial and parallel line printer queues.  Each  entry
           in a queue is printed showing the owner of the queue entry, an iden-
           tification number, the size of the entry in characters, and the file
           which  is  to  be printed.  The id is useful for removing a specific
           entry from the printer queue using lprm(1).

           Print pr's a copy of each named file on the line printer.  It  is  a
           one line shell script:

                pr $* | lpr
