If no names appear, the standard input is assumed. 13 14 The following single letter options are used to notify the line printer 15 spooler that the files are not standard text files. The spooling daemon 16 will use the appropriate filters to print the data accordingly. 17 18 --cc The files are assumed to contain data produced by cifplot(1) 19 20 --dd The files are assumed to contain data from _t_e_x (DVI format from 21 Stanford). 22 23 --ff Use a filter which interprets the first character of each line as 24 a standard FORTRAN carriage control character. 25 26 --gg The files are assumed to contain standard plot data as produced 27 by the plot routines (see also plot for the filters used by the 28 printer spooler). 29 30 --ll Use a filter which allows control characters to be printed and 31 suppresses page breaks. 32 33 --nn The files are assumed to contain data from _d_i_t_r_o_f_f (device 34 independent troff). 35 36 --pp Use pr(1) to format the files (equivalent to print). 37 38 --tt The files are assumed to contain data from troff(1) (cat 39 phototypesetter commands). 40 41 --vv The files are assumed to contain a raster image for devices like 42 the Benson Varian. 43 44 These options apply to the handling of the print job: 45 46 --PP Force output to a specific printer. Normally, the default 47 printer is used (site dependent), or the value of the environment 48 variable PRINTER is used. 49 50 --hh Suppress the printing of the burst page. 51 52 --mm Send mail upon completion. 53 54 --rr Remove the file upon completion of spooling or upon completion of 55 printing (with the --ss option). 56 57 --ss Use symbolic links. Usually files are copied to the spool 58 directory. The --ss option will use symlink(2) to link data files 59 rather than trying to copy them so large files can be printed. 60 This means the files should not be modified or removed until they 61 have been printed. 62 63 The remaining options apply to copies, the page display, and headers: 64 65 --##_n_u_m The quantity _n_u_m is the number of copies desired of each file 66 named. For example, 67 68 lpr -#3 foo.c bar.c more.c 69 would result in 3 copies of the file foo.c, followed by 3 copies 70 of the file bar.c, etc. On the other hand, 71 72 cat foo.c bar.c more.c | lpr -#3 73 74 will give three copies of the concatenation of the files. Often a 75 site will disable this feature to encourage use of a photocopier 76 instead. 77 78 --[11223344]_f_o_n_t 79 Specifies a _f_o_n_t to be mounted on font position _i. The daemon 80 will construct a .railmag file referencing the font pathname. 81 82 --CC _c_l_a_s_s 83 Job classification to use on the burst page. For example, 84 85 lpr -C EECS foo.c 86 87 causes the system name (the name returned by hostname(1)) to be 88 replaced on the burst page by EECS, and the file foo.c to be 89 printed. 90 91 --JJ _j_o_b Job name to print on the burst page. Normally, the first file's 92 name is used. 93 94 --TT _t_i_t_l_e 95 Title name for pr(1), instead of the file name. 96 97 --UU _u_s_e_r 98 User name to print on the burst page, also for accounting 99 purposes. This option is only honored if the real user-id is 100 daemon (or that specified in the printcap file instead of 101 daemon), and is intended for those instances where print filters 102 wish to requeue jobs. 103 104 --ii [numcols] 105 The output is indented. If the next argument is numeric 106 (_n_u_m_c_o_l_s), it is used as the number of blanks to be printed 107 before each line; otherwise, 8 characters are printed. 108 109 --ww_n_u_m Uses _n_u_m as the page width for pr(1). 110 111EENNVVIIRROONNMMEENNTT 112 If the following environment variable exists, it is used by llpprr: 113 114 PRINTER Specifies an alternate default printer. 115 116FFIILLEESS 117 /etc/passwd Personal identification. 118 /etc/printcap Printer capabilities data base. 119 /usr/sbin/lpd* Line printer daemons. 120 /var/spool/output/* Directories used for spooling. 121 /var/spool/output/*/cf* Daemon control files. 122 /var/spool/output/*/df* Data files specified in "cf" files. 123 /var/spool/output/*/tf* Temporary copies of "cf" files. 124 125SSEEEE AALLSSOO 126 lpq(1), lprm(1), pr(1), symlink(2), printcap(5), lpc(8), lpd(8) 127 128HHIISSTTOORRYY 129 The llpprr command appeared in 3BSD. 130 131DDIIAAGGNNOOSSTTIICCSS 132 If you try to spool too large a file, it will be truncated. LLpprr will 133 object to printing binary files. If a user other than root prints a file 134 and spooling is disabled, llpprr will print a message saying so and will not 135 put jobs in the queue. If a connection to lpd(1) on the local machine 136 cannot be made, llpprr will say that the daemon cannot be started. 137 Diagnostics may be printed in the daemon's log file regarding missing 138 spool files by lpd(1). 139 140BBUUGGSS 141 Fonts for troff(1) and tex reside on the host with the printer. It is 142 currently not possible to use local font libraries. 143 1444th Berkeley Distribution July 24, 1991 3 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 197 198 199
