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 des‐
       tination 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 desti‐
	    nation and should be sent without filtering. This option is equiv‐
	    alent 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	equivalent to "-oprettyprint" and is only useful when printing
	    text files.

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