- LLLLpppprrrr uses a spooling daemon to print the named files when facilities
- become available. If no names appear, the standard input is assumed.
- The ----PPPP 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.
-
- ----pppp Use _p_r(1) to format the files (equivalent to _p_r_i_n_t).
-
- ----llll Use a filter which allows control characters to be printed and
- suppresses page breaks.
-
- ----tttt The files are assumed to contain data from _t_r_o_f_f(1).
-
- The remaining single letter options have the following meaning.
-
- ----rrrr Remove the file upon completion of spooling or upon completion of
- printing (with the ----ssss option).
-
- ----mmmm Send mail upon completion.
-
- ----hhhh Suppress the printing of the burst page.
-
- ----ssss Use symbolic links. Usually files are copied to the spool
- directory.
-
- The ----CCCC option takes the following argument as a job classification 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 ----JJJJ option takes the following argument as the job name to print on
- the burst page. Normally, the first file's name is used.
-
- The ----TTTT 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 ----iiii 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 ----wwww option takes the immediately following number to be the page width
- for _p_r.
-
- The ----ssss 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.

- 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 regarding missing
- spool files by _l_p_d.
