87.SH DESCRIPTION
88\fBlp\fR submits files for printing or alters a pending job.
89Use a filename of "-" to force printing from the standard input.
90.SS THE DEFAULT DESTINATION
91CUPS provides many ways to set the default destination. The \fBLPDEST\fR and \fBPRINTER\fR environment variables are consulted first.
92If neither are set, the current default set using the
93.BR lpoptions (1)
94command is used, followed by the default set using the
95.BR lpadmin (8)
96command.
97.SH OPTIONS
98The following options are recognized by \fIlp\fR:
99.TP 5
100.B \-\-
101Marks the end of options; use this to print a file whose name begins with a dash (\-).
102.TP 5
103.B \-E
104Forces encryption when connecting to the server.
105.TP 5
106\fB\-U \fIusername\fR
107Specifies the username to use when connecting to the server.
108.TP 5
109.B \-c
110This 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.
111In CUPS, print files are always sent to the scheduler via IPP which has the same effect.
112.TP 5
113\fB\-d \fIdestination\fR
114Prints files to the named printer.
115.TP 5
116\fB\-h \fIhostname\fR[\fB:\fIport\fR]
117Chooses an alternate server.
118.TP 5
119\fB\-i \fIjob-id\fR
120Specifies an existing job to modify.
121.TP 5
122.B \-m
123Sends an email when the job is completed.
124.TP 5
125\fB\-n \fIcopies\fR
126Sets the number of copies to print.
127.TP 5
128\fB\-o "\fIname\fB=\fIvalue \fR[ ... \fIname\fB=\fIvalue \fR]\fB"\fR
129Sets one or more job options.
130.TP 5
131\fB\-q \fIpriority\fR
132Sets the job priority from 1 (lowest) to 100 (highest).
133The default priority is 50.
134.TP 5
135.B \-s
136Do not report the resulting job IDs (silent mode.)
137.TP 5
138\fB\-t "\fIname\fB"\fR
139Sets the job name.
140.TP 5
141\fB\-H \fIhh:mm\fR
142.TP 5
143\fB\-H hold\fR
144.TP 5
145\fB-H immediate\fR
146.TP 5
147\fB-H restart\fR
148.TP 5
149\fB-H resume\fR
150Specifies when the job should be printed.
151A 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.
152Use a value of \fIresume\fR with the \fI-i\fR option to resume a held job.
153Use a value of \fIrestart\fR with the \fI-i\fR option to restart a completed job.
154.TP 5
155\fB\-P \fIpage-list\fR
156Specifies which pages to print in the document.
157The list can contain a list of numbers and ranges (#-#) separated by commas, e.g., "1,3-5,16".
158The 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.
159.SS COMMON JOB OPTIONS
160Aside from the printer-specific options reported by the
161.BR lpoptions (1)
162command, the following generic options are available:
163.TP 5
164\fB\-o media=\fIsize\fR
165Sets the page size to \fIsize\fR. Most printers support at least the size names "a4", "letter", and "legal".
166.TP 5
167\fB\-o orientation\-requested=4\fR
168Prints the job in landscape (rotated 90 degrees).
169.TP 5
170\fB\-o sides=one\-sided\fR
171Prints on one side of the paper.
172.TP 5
173\fB\-o sides=two\-sided\-long\-edge\fR
174Prints on both sides of the paper for portrait output.
175.TP 5
176\fB\-o sides=two\-sided\-short\-edge\fR
177Prints on both sides of the paper for landscape output.
178.TP 5
179\fB\-o fit\-to\-page\fR
180Scales the print file to fit on the page.
181.TP 5
182\fB\-o number\-up=\fR{\fI2|4|6|9|16\fR}
183Prints 2, 4, 6, 9, or 16 document (input) pages on each output page.
184.SH CONFORMING TO
185Unlike the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to contain any printable character except SPACE, TAB, "/", or "#".
186Also, printer and class names are \fInot\fR case-sensitive.
187.LP
188The \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).
189.SH EXAMPLES
190Print two copies of a document to the default printer:
191.nf
192
193 lp -n 2 filename
194
195.fi
196Print a double-sided legal document to a printer called "foo":
197.nf
198
199 lp -d foo -o media=legal -o sides=two-sided-long-edge filename
200
201.fi
202Print a presentation document 2-up to a printer called "foo":
203.nf
204
205 lp -d foo -o number-up=2 filename
206.fi
