ef416fc2 | 89 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
cfa19b58 MS |
90 | \fBlp\fR submits files for printing or alters a pending job. |
91 | Use a filename of "-" to force printing from the standard input. | |
92 | .SS THE DEFAULT DESTINATION | |
93 | CUPS provides many ways to set the default destination. The \fBLPDEST\fR and \fBPRINTER\fR environment variables are consulted first. | |
94 | If neither are set, the current default set using the | |
95 | .BR lpoptions (1) | |
96 | command is used, followed by the default set using the | |
97 | .BR lpadmin (8) | |
98 | command. | |
ef416fc2 | 99 | .SH OPTIONS |
bd7854cb | 100 | The following options are recognized by \fIlp\fR: |
ef416fc2 | 101 | .TP 5 |
cfa19b58 MS |
102 | .B \-\- |
103 | Marks the end of options; use this to print a file whose name begins with a dash (\-). | |
bd7854cb | 104 | .TP 5 |

110 | .TP 5 | |
cfa19b58 MS |
111 | .B \-c |
112 | This option is provided for backwards-compatibility only. On systems that support it, this option forces the print file to be copied to the spool directory before printing. | |
113 | In CUPS, print files are always sent to the scheduler via IPP which has the same effect. | |
ef416fc2 | 114 | .TP 5 |
cfa19b58 | 115 | \fB\-d \fIdestination\fR |
ef416fc2 | 116 | Prints files to the named printer. |

ef416fc2 | 122 | Specifies an existing job to modify. |
123 | .TP 5 | |

128 | Sets the number of copies to print. | |
ef416fc2 | 129 | .TP 5 |
cfa19b58 | 130 | \fB\-o "\fIname\fB=\fIvalue \fR[ ... \fIname\fB=\fIvalue \fR]\fB"\fR |
bd7854cb | 131 | Sets one or more job options. |
ef416fc2 | 132 | .TP 5 |
cfa19b58 MS |
133 | \fB\-q \fIpriority\fR |
134 | Sets the job priority from 1 (lowest) to 100 (highest). | |
135 | The default priority is 50. | |
ef416fc2 | 136 | .TP 5 |
cfa19b58 | 137 | .B \-s |

bd7854cb | 146 | .TP 5 |
cfa19b58 | 147 | \fB-H immediate\fR |
bd7854cb | 148 | .TP 5 |
cfa19b58 | 149 | \fB-H restart\fR |
ef416fc2 | 150 | .TP 5 |
cfa19b58 MS |
151 | \fB-H resume\fR |
152 | Specifies when the job should be printed. | |
153 | A value of \fIimmediate\fR will print the file immediately, a value of \fIhold\fR will hold the job indefinitely, and a UTC time value (HH:MM) will hold the job until the specified UTC (not local) time. | |
154 | Use a value of \fIresume\fR with the \fI-i\fR option to resume a held job. | |
155 | Use a value of \fIrestart\fR with the \fI-i\fR option to restart a completed job. | |
bd7854cb | 156 | .TP 5 |
cfa19b58 MS |
157 | \fB\-P \fIpage-list\fR |
158 | Specifies which pages to print in the document. | |
159 | The list can contain a list of numbers and ranges (#-#) separated by commas, e.g., "1,3-5,16". | |
160 | The page numbers refer to the output pages and not the document's original pages - options like "number-up" can affect the numbering of the pages. | |
161 | .SS COMMON JOB OPTIONS | |
162 | Aside from the printer-specific options reported by the | |
163 | .BR lpoptions (1) | |
164 | command, the following generic options are available: | |
bd7854cb | 165 | .TP 5 |
cfa19b58 MS |
166 | \fB\-o media=\fIsize\fR |
167 | Sets the page size to \fIsize\fR. Most printers support at least the size names "a4", "letter", and "legal". | |
bd7854cb | 168 | .TP 5 |
cfa19b58 | 169 | \fB\-o orientation\-requested=4\fR |
bd7854cb | 170 | Prints the job in landscape (rotated 90 degrees). |
171 | .TP 5 | |
cfa19b58 MS |
172 | \fB\-o sides=one\-sided\fR |
173 | Prints on one side of the paper. | |
bd7854cb | 174 | .TP 5 |
cfa19b58 MS |
175 | \fB\-o sides=two\-sided\-long\-edge\fR |
176 | Prints on both sides of the paper for portrait output. | |
bd7854cb | 177 | .TP 5 |
cfa19b58 MS |
178 | \fB\-o sides=two\-sided\-short\-edge\fR |
179 | Prints on both sides of the paper for landscape output. | |
bd7854cb | 180 | .TP 5 |
cfa19b58 | 181 | \fB\-o fit\-to\-page\fR |
bd7854cb | 182 | Scales the print file to fit on the page. |
183 | .TP 5 | |
cfa19b58 MS |
184 | \fB\-o number\-up=\fR{\fI2|4|6|9|16\fR} |
185 | Prints 2, 4, 6, 9, or 16 document (input) pages on each output page. | |
186 | .SH CONFORMING TO | |
187 | Unlike the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to contain any printable character except SPACE, TAB, "/", or "#". | |
188 | Also, printer and class names are \fInot\fR case-sensitive. | |
189 | .LP | |
190 | The \fI-q\fR option accepts a different range of values than the Solaris lp command, matching the IPP job priority values (1-100, 100 is highest priority) instead of the Solaris values (0-39, 0 is highest priority). | |
bd7854cb | 191 | .SH EXAMPLES |
cfa19b58 | 192 | Print two copies of a document to the default printer: |
bd7854cb | 193 | .nf |
cfa19b58 MS |
194 | |
195 | lp -n 2 filename | |
196 | ||
bd7854cb | 197 | .fi |
cfa19b58 | 198 | Print a double-sided legal document to a printer called "foo": |
bd7854cb | 199 | .nf |
cfa19b58 MS |
200 | |
201 | lp -d foo -o media=legal -o sides=two-sided-long-edge filename | |
202 | ||
