lpr                          Command                          lpr




Send to line printer spooler

llpprr [-ccmmnnrr] [-bb _b_a_n_n_e_r] [_f_i_l_e ...]

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:

-BB   Suppress printing of a banner.

bb _b_a_n_n_e_r
     Print banner at the beginning of the file.  The default ban-
     ner is the user's login name.

cc    Copy the files (allowing changes to be made before the prin-
     ting completes).

mm    Send a message when the printing completes.

nn    Do not send a message (default).

rr    Remove the files when they have been spooled.

The command lpskip aborts or restarts the current listing.
