MS		 53<b>lpr</b> submits files for printing.
54Files named on the command line are sent to the named printer or the default destination if no destination is specified.
55If 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>
57CUPS provides many ways to set the default destination. The <b>LPDEST</b> and <b>PRINTER</b> environment variables are consulted first.
58If neither are set, the current default set using the
59<a href="man-lpoptions.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>lpoptions</b>(1)</a>
60command is used, followed by the default set using the
61<a href="man-lpadmin.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>lpadmin</b>(8)</a>
62command.
