LP

)

The "lp" command is used for printing.

Command Format

lp [-d Printer name] [-n No. of copies] File name

Command Options

The following command options are available:

-d Printer name

Specify the printer name registered by the "lpadmin" command as
the -d option. If this option is omitted, the default printer lp will be
specified.

-n No. of copies

This option specifies the number of copies. If one "lp" command is
issued to print multiple files, the number of copies specified by this
option will apply to all the files.

However, this option is effective when the printer is in the spool
mode. In the non-spool mode, the client must be a Windows NT
machine to use this option.

Precautions

Among options not listed above (e.g. -m option), those not
processed by the workstation which sends the print
instructions will not be effective.

In the spool mode, up to 32 files can be printed by one "lp"
command. Files that come after the 32nd files will be ignored.
