SYNOPSIS
id class] job] title] [numcols]] font] num] file
DESCRIPTION
transfers a spooling request to a remote system to be printed. commu‐
nicates with a spooling daemon on a remote system to transfer the
spooling request. Options can be set only on the original system (the
system where the request originated). The file name must be last.
Transfers of a remote request use only the option and the file.
This command is intended to be used only by the spool system in
response to the command and should not be invoked directly (see lp(1)).
Options
recognizes the following options and command-line arguments:
The argument id is the request ID.
Take the class argument as a job classification for use on
the banner page.
Take the job argument as the job name to print on the ban‐

Use the title argument as the title used by instead of
the file name (see pr(1)). is ignored unless the
option is specified.

line; otherwise, 8 characters are printed.
Specify a font to be mounted on font position k, where k is
from through
Use the num argument number as the page width for
The following single-letter options are used to notify the LP spooler
that the files are not standard text files. The spooling system uses
the appropriate filters (if the option is supported) to print the data
accordingly. These options are mutually exclusive.
The files are assumed to contain data produced by
cifplot.
The files are assumed to contain data from
tex (DVI format).
Use a filter that interprets the first character of each line
as a standard FORTRAN carriage control character.
The files are assumed to contain standard plot data as produced
by the
routines.
Use a filter that suppresses page breaks.
The files are assumed to contain data from
(device-independent
Use to format the files.
The files are assumed to contain data from
(cat phototypesetter commands).
The files are assumed to contain a raster image
for devices such as the Benson Varian.
WARNINGS
Some remote line printer models may not support all of these options.
Options not supported are silently ignored.
When is transferring a request that originated on another system, only
the option and the file is used. This saves from having to set the
various options multiple times. Specifying unused options does not
produce an error.
