  68 .SH DESCRIPTION
  69 \fBlpoptions\fR displays or sets printer options and defaults.
  70 If no printer is specified using the \fI\-p\fR option, the default printer is used as described in
  71 .BR lp (1).
  72 .LP
  73 If no \fI\-l\fR, \fI\-o\fR, or \fI\-r\fR options are specified, the current options are reported on the standard output.
  74 .LP
  75 Options set with the \fBlpoptions\fR command are used by the
  76 .BR lp (1)
  77 and
  78 .BR lpr (1)
  79 commands when submitting jobs.
  80 .LP
  81 When run by the root user, \fBlpoptions\fR gets and sets default options and instances for all users in the \fI/etc/cups/lpoptions\fR file.
  82 Otherwise, the per-user defaults are managed in the \fI~/.cups/lpoptions\fR file.
