53 | <b>lpr</b> submits files for printing. |
54 | Files named on the command line are sent to the named printer or the default destination if no destination is specified. | |
55 | If no files are listed on the command-line, <b>lpr</b> reads the print file from the standard input. | |
56 | <h3><a name="THE_DEFAULT_DESTINATION">The Default Destination</a></h3> | |
57 | CUPS provides many ways to set the default destination. The <b>LPDEST</b> and <b>PRINTER</b> environment variables are consulted first. | |
58 | If neither are set, the current default set using the | |
d6395c6f | 59 | <a href="man-lpoptions.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>lpoptions</b>(1)</a> |
cfa19b58 | 60 | command is used, followed by the default set using the |
