29<h2 class="title"><a name="DESCRIPTION">Description</a></h2>
30<i>lpr</i> submits files for printing. Files named on the command
31line are sent to the named printer (or the default destination if no
32destination is specified). If no files are listed on the command-line,
33<i>lpr</i> reads the print file from the standard input.
34<h2 class="title"><a name="THE_DEFAULT_DESTINATION">The Default Destination</a></h2>
35CUPS provides many ways to set the default destination. The "LPDEST" and
36"PRINTER" environment variables are consulted first. If neither are set,
c277f98c
MS
37the current default set using the <i>lpoptions(1)</i> command is used,
38followed by the default set using the <i>lpadmin(8)</i> command.
