NAME
     lpr - print files

SYNOPSIS
     lpr  [  -E ] [ -P destination ] [ -U username ] [ -# num-copies [ -l ] [ -o
     option ] [ -p] [ -r ] [ -C/J/T title ] [ file(s) ]

DESCRIPTION
     lpr submits files for printing. Files named on the command line are sent to
     the named printer (or the system default destination if no  destination  is
     specified).  If no files are listed on the command-line lpr reads the print
     file from the standard input.

OPTIONS
     The following options are recognized by lpr:

     -E
          Forces encryption when connecting to the server.

     -P destination
          Prints files to the named printer.

     -# copies
          Sets the number of copies to print from 1 to 100.

     -C name
          Sets the job name.

     -J name
          Sets the job name.

     -T name
          Sets the job name.

     -U username
          Sets the user name.

     -l
          Specifies that the print file is already formatted for the destination
          and should be sent without filtering. This  option  is  equivalent  to
          "-oraw".

     -o option
          Sets a job option.

     -p
          Specifies that the print file should be formatted with a shaded header
          with the date, time, job name, and page number. This option is equiva-
          lent to "-oprettyprint" and is only useful when printing text files.

     -r
          Specifies  that the named print files should be deleted after printing
          them.

COMPATIBILITY
     The "c", "d", "f", "g", "i", "m", "n", "t", "v", and "w"  options  are  not
     supported by CUPS and will produce a warning message if used.
