DESCRIPTION
lp submits files for printing or alters a pending job. Use
a filename of "-" to force printing from the standard
input.
cancel cancels existing print jobs. The -a option will
remove all jobs from the specified destination.
OPTIONS
The following options are recognized by lp:
-E
Forces encryption when connecting to the server.
-c
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. In CUPS, print files are always sent
to the scheduler via IPP which has the same effect.
-d destination
Prints files to the named printer.
-h hostname
Specifies the print server hostname. The default is
"localhost" or the value of the CUPS_SERVER environ
ment variable.
-i job-id
Specifies an existing job to modify.
-m
Send email when the job is completed (not supported
CUPS 1.1.)
-n copies
Sets the number of copies to print from 1 to 100.
-o option
Sets a job option.
-H handling
Specifies when the job should be printed. A value of
immediate will print the file immediately, a value of
hold will hold the job indefinitely, and a time value
(HH:MM) will hold the job until the specified time.
Use a value of resume with the -i option to resume a
held job. Use a value of restart with the -i option
to restart a completed job.
-P page-list
Specifies which pages to print in the document. The
list can contain a list of numbers and ranges (#-#)
separated by commas (e.g. 1,3-5,16).
COMPATIBILITY
Unlike the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer
names to contain any printable character except SPACE and
TAB. Also, printer and class names are not case-sensitive.
The "m" option is not functional in CUPS 1.1.
The "q" option accepts a different range of values than
the Solaris lp command, matching the IPP job priority val
ues (1-100) instead of the Solaris values (0-39).
NOTES
Administrators wishing to prevent unauthorized cancella
tion of jobs via the -u option should password-protect the
/jobs location in cupsd.conf(5).
