NAME
       lp - print files

SYNOPSIS
       lp [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -c ] [ -d destination[/instance] ] [ -h hostname[:port]
       ] [ -m ] [ -n num-copies ] [ -o option[=value] ] [ -q priority ] [ -s ] [ -t  title
       ] [ -H handling ] [ -P page-list ] [ -- ] [ file(s) ]
       lp  [  -E  ]  [ -U username ] [ -c ] [ -h hostname[:port] ] [ -i job-id ] [ -n num-
       copies ] [ -o option[=value] ] [ -q priority ] [ -t title ] [ -H handling  ]  [  -P
       page-list ]

DESCRIPTION
       lp  submits  files  for  printing or alters a pending job. Use a filename of "-" to
       force printing from the standard input.

OPTIONS
       The following options are recognized by lp:

       --
            Marks the end of options; use this to print a file whose name  begins  with  a
            dash (-).

       -E
            Forces encryption when connecting to the server.

       -U username
            Specifies the username to use when connecting to the server.

       -c
            This option is provided for backwards-compatibility only. On systems that sup-
            port 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[:port]
            Chooses an alternate server.

       -i job-id
            Specifies an existing job to modify.

       -m
            Sends an email when the job is completed.

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

       -o "name=value [name=value ...]"
            Sets one or more job options.

       -q priority
            Sets the job priority from 1 (lowest) to 100 (highest). The  default  priority
            is 50.

       -s
            Do not report the resulting job IDs (silent mode.)

       -t "name"
            Sets the job name.

       -u username
            Submits jobs as username.

       -H hh:mm

       -H hold

       -H immediate

       -H restart

       -H resume
            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).

COMMON JOB OPTIONS
       Aside from the printer-specific options reported by the lpoptions(1)  command,  the
       following generic options are available:

       -o media=size
            Sets  the  page  size  to  size. Most printers support at least the size names
            "a4", "letter", and "legal".

       -o landscape

       -o orientation-requested=4
            Prints the job in landscape (rotated 90 degrees).

       -o sides=one-sided

       -o sides=two-sided-long-edge

       -o sides=two-sided-short-edge
            Prints on one or two sides of the paper. The  value  "two-sided-long-edge"  is
            normally  used  when  printing  portrait  (unrotated) pages, while "two-sided-
            short-edge" is used for landscape pages.

       -o fitplot
            Scales the print file to fit on the page.

       -o scaling=number
            Scales image files to use up to number percent of the  page.   Values  greater
            than 100 cause the image file to be printed across multiple pages.

       -o cpi=N
            Sets  the  number of characters per inch to use when printing a text file. The
            default is 10.

       -o lpi=N
            Sets the number of lines per inch to  use  when  printing  a  text  file.  The
            default is 6.

       -o page-bottom=N

       -o page-left=N

       -o page-right=N

       -o page-top=N
            Sets  the  page  margins  when printing text files. The values are in points -
            there are 72 points to the inch.

EXAMPLES
       Print a double-sided legal document to a printer called "foo":
           lp -d foo -o media=legal -o sides=two-sided-long-edge filename

       Print an image across 4 pages:
           lp -d bar -o scaling=200 filename

       Print a text file with 12 characters per inch, 8 lines per inch, and a 1 inch  left
       margin:
           lp -d bar -o cpi=12 -o lpi=8 -o page-left=72 filename

COMPATIBILITY
       Unlike  the  System  V  printing  system,  CUPS allows printer names to contain any
       printable character except SPACE, TAB, "/", or "#".  Also, printer and class  names
       are not case-sensitive.

       The  "q"  option  accepts  a different range of values than the Solaris lp command,
       matching the IPP job priority values (1-100, 100 is highest  priority)  instead  of
       the Solaris values (0-39, 0 is highest priority).
