- LLpprr uses a spooling daemon to print the named files when
- facilities become available. If no names appear, the stan-
- dard input is assumed. The --PP option may be used to force
- output to a specific printer. Normally, the default printer
- is used (site dependent), or the value of the environment
- variable PRINTER is used.
-
- The following single letter options are used to notify the
- line printer spooler that the files are not standard text
- files. The spooling daemon will use the appropriate filters
- to print the data accordingly.
-
- --pp Use _p_r(1) to format the files (equivalent to _p_r_i_n_t).
-
- --ll Use a filter which allows control characters to be
- printed and suppresses page breaks.
-
- --tt The files are assumed to contain data from _t_r_o_f_f(1)
- (cat phototypesetter commands).
-
- --nn The files are assumed to contain data from _d_i_t_r_o_f_f
- (device independent troff).
-
- --dd The files are assumed to contain data from _t_e_x(l) (DVI
- format from Stanford).
-
- --gg The files are assumed to contain standard plot data as
- produced by the _p_l_o_t(3X) routines (see also _p_l_o_t(1G)
- for the filters used by the printer spooler).
-
- --vv The files are assumed to contain a raster image for
- devices like the Benson Varian.
-
- --cc The files are assumed to contain data produced by
- _c_i_f_p_l_o_t(l).
-
- --ff Use a filter which interprets the first character of
- each line as a standard FORTRAN carriage control char-
- acter.
-
- The remaining single letter options have the following mean-
- ing.

- --rr Remove the file upon completion of spooling or upon
- completion of printing (with the --ss option).
-
- --mm Send mail upon completion.
-
- --hh Suppress the printing of the burst page.
-
- --ss Use symbolic links. Usually files are copied to the
- spool directory.
-
- The --CC option takes the following argument as a job classif-
- ication for use on the burst page. For example,
-
- lpr -C EECS foo.c
-
- causes the system name (the name returned by _h_o_s_t_n_a_m_e(1)) to
- be replaced on the burst page by EECS, and the file foo.c to
- be printed.
-
- The --JJ option takes the following argument as the job name
- to print on the burst page. Normally, the first file's name
- is used.
-
- The --TT option uses the next argument as the title used by
- _p_r(1) instead of the file name.
-
- To get multiple copies of output, use the --##_n_u_m option,
- where _n_u_m is the number of copies desired of each file
- named. For example,
-
- lpr -#3 foo.c bar.c more.c
-
- would result in 3 copies of the file foo.c, followed by 3
- copies of the file bar.c, etc. On the other hand,
-
- cat foo.c bar.c more.c | lpr -#3
-
- will give three copies of the concatenation of the files.
-
- The --ii option causes the output to be indented. If the next
- argument is numeric, it is used as the number of blanks to
- be printed before each line; otherwise, 8 characters are
- printed.
-
- The --ww option takes the immediately following number to be
- the page width for _p_r.
-
- The --ss option will use _s_y_m_l_i_n_k(2) to link data files rather
- than trying to copy them so large files can be printed.
- This means the files should not be modified or removed until
- they have been printed.

- The option --11223344 Specifies a font to be mounted on font
- position _i. The daemon will construct a ._r_a_i_l_m_a_g file
- referencing /_u_s_r/_l_i_b/_v_f_o_n_t/_n_a_m_e._s_i_z_e.

- If you try to spool too large a file, it will be truncated.
- _L_p_r will object to printing binary files. If a user other
- than root prints a file and spooling is disabled, _l_p_r will
- print a message saying so and will not put jobs in the
- queue. If a connection to _l_p_d on the local machine cannot
- be made, _l_p_r will say that the daemon cannot be started.
- Diagnostics may be printed in the daemon's log file regard-
- ing missing spool files by _l_p_d.

- Fonts for _t_r_o_f_f and _t_e_x reside on the host with the printer.
- It is currently not possible to use local font libraries.
