DESCRIPTION

       lp submits files for printing or alters a pending job.

       cancel cancels existing print jobs.  The  -a  option  will
       remove all jobs from the specified destination.


OPTIONS

       The following options are recognized by lp:

       -E
            Forces encryption when connecting to the server.

       -c
            This  option  is provided for backwards-compatibility
            only. On systems that support 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
            Specifies  the  print server hostname. The default is
            "localhost" or the value of the CUPS_SERVER  environ­
            ment variable.

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

       -m
            Send  email  when the job is completed (not supported
            CUPS 1.1.)

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

       -o option
            Sets a job option.

       -q priority
            Use  a value of resume with the -i option to resume a
            held 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).


COMPATIBILITY

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

       The "m" option is not functional in CUPS 1.1.

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