LPR(1)              UNIX Programmer's Manual               LPR(1)



NAME
     lpr, lprm, lpq, print - line printer spooler

SYNOPSIS
     lpr [ -m ] [ name ... ]
     lprm [ id ...  ] [ filename ...  ] [ owner ...  ]
     lpq
     print file ...

DESCRIPTION
     _L_p_r causes the named files to be queued for printing.  If no
     files are named, the standard input is read.  The option -m
     causes notification via _m_a_i_l(1) to be sent when the job com-
     pletes.

     _L_p_r_m removes an entry from the line printer queue.  The id,
     filename or owner should be that reported by _l_p_q. All
     appropriate files will be removed.  The id of each file
     removed from the queue will be printed.

     _L_p_q prints the line printer queue.  Each entry in the queue
     is printed showing the owner of the queue entry, an identif-
     ication number, the size of the entry in characters, and the
     file which is to be printed.  The _i_d is useful for removing
     a specific entry from the printer queue using _l_p_r_m(1).

     _P_r_i_n_t _p_r'_s a copy of each named file on the line printer.
     It is a one line shell script:

          pr $* | lpr
