If no names appear, the standard input is assumed. 57.Pp 58The following single letter options are used to notify the line printer 59spooler that the files are not standard text files. The spooling daemon will 60use the appropriate filters to print the data accordingly. 61.Bl -tag -width indent 62.It Fl c 63The files are assumed to contain data produced by 64.Xr cifplot 1 65.It Fl d 66The files are assumed to contain data from 67.Em tex 68.Pf ( Tn DVI 69format from Stanford). 70.It Fl f 71Use a filter which interprets the first character of each line as a 72standard 73.Tn FORTRAN 74carriage control character. 75.It Fl g 76The files are assumed to contain standard plot data as produced by the 77.Xr plot 78routines (see also 79.Xr plot 80for the filters used by the printer spooler). 81.It Fl l 82Use a filter which allows control characters to be printed and suppresses 83page breaks. 84.It Fl n 85The files are assumed to contain data from 86.Em ditroff 87(device independent troff). 88.It Fl p 89Use 90.Xr pr 1 91to format the files (equivalent to 92.Xr print ) . 93.It Fl t 94The files are assumed to contain data from 95.Xr troff 1 96(cat phototypesetter commands). 97.It Fl v 98The files are assumed to contain a raster image for devices like the 99Benson Varian. 100.El 101.Pp 102These options apply to the handling of 103the print job: 104.Bl -tag -width indent 105.It Fl P 106Force output to a specific printer. Normally, 107the default printer is used (site dependent), or the value of the 108environment variable 109.Ev PRINTER 110is used. 111.It Fl h 112Suppress the printing of the burst page. 113.It Fl m 114Send mail upon completion. 115.It Fl r 116Remove the file upon completion of spooling or upon completion of 117printing (with the 118.Fl s 119option). 120.It Fl s 121Use symbolic links. Usually files are copied to the spool directory. 122The 123.Fl s 124option will use 125.Xr symlink 2 126to link data files rather than trying to copy them so large files can be 127printed. This means the files should 128not be modified or removed until they have been printed. 129.El 130.Pp 131The remaining options apply to copies, the page display, and headers: 132.Bl -tag -width indent 133.It Fl \&# Ns Ar num 134The quantity 135.Ar num 136is the number of copies desired of each file named. For example, 137.Bd -literal -offset indent 138lpr \-#3 foo.c bar.c more.c 139.Ed 140would result in 3 copies of the file foo.c, followed by 3 copies 141of the file bar.c, etc. On the other hand, 142.Bd -literal -offset indent 143cat foo.c bar.c more.c \&| lpr \-#3 144.Ed 145.Pp 146will give three copies of the concatenation of the files. Often 147a site will disable this feature to encourage use of a photocopier 148instead. 149.It Xo 150.Fl Ns Oo Cm 1234 Oc Ar font 151.Xc 152Specifies a 153.Ar font 154to be mounted on font position 155.Ar i . 156The daemon 157will construct a 158.Li .railmag 159file referencing 160the font pathname. 161.It Fl C Ar class 162Job classification 163to use on the burst page. For example, 164.Bd -literal -offset indent 165lpr \-C EECS foo.c 166.Ed 167.Pp 168causes the system name (the name returned by 169.Xr hostname 1 ) 170to be replaced on the burst page by 171.Tn EECS , 172and the file foo.c to be printed. 173.It Fl J Ar job 174Job name to print on the burst page. 175Normally, the first file's name is used. 176.It Fl T Ar title 177Title name for 178.Xr pr 1 , 179instead of the file name. 180.It Fl U Ar user 181User name to print on the burst page, 182also for accounting purposes. 183This option is only honored if the real user-id is daemon 184(or that specified in the printcap file instead of daemon), 185and is intended for those instances where print filters wish to requeue jobs. 186.It Fl i Op numcols 187The output is indented. If the next argument 188is numeric 189.Pq Ar numcols , 190it is used as the number of blanks to be printed before each 191line; otherwise, 8 characters are printed. 192.It Fl w Ns Ar num 193Uses 194.Ar num 195as the page width for 196.Xr pr 1 . 197.El 198.Sh ENVIRONMENT 199If the following environment variable exists, it is used by 200.Nm lpr : 201.Bl -tag -width PRINTER 202.It Ev PRINTER 203Specifies an alternate default printer. 204.El 205.Sh FILES 206.Bl -tag -width /var/spool/output/*/tf* -compact 207.It Pa /etc/passwd 208Personal identification. 209.It Pa /etc/printcap 210Printer capabilities data base. 211.It Pa /usr/sbin/lpd* 212Line printer daemons. 213.It Pa /var/spool/output/* 214Directories used for spooling. 215.It Pa /var/spool/output/*/cf* 216Daemon control files. 217.It Pa /var/spool/output/*/df* 218Data files specified in "cf" files. 219.It Pa /var/spool/output/*/tf* 220Temporary copies of "cf" files. 221.El 222.Sh SEE ALSO 223.Xr lpq 1 , 224.Xr lprm 1 , 225.Xr pr 1 , 226.Xr symlink 2 , 227.Xr printcap 5 , 228.Xr lpc 8 , 229.Xr lpd 8 230.Sh HISTORY 231The 232.Nm lpr 233command appeared in 234.Bx 3 . 235.Sh DIAGNOSTICS 236If you try to spool too large a file, it will be truncated. 237.Nm Lpr 238will object to printing binary files. 239If a user other than root prints a file and spooling is disabled, 240.Nm lpr 241will print a message saying so and will not put jobs in the queue. 242If a connection to 243.Xr lpd 1 244on the local machine cannot be made, 245.Nm lpr 246will say that the daemon cannot be started. 247Diagnostics may be printed in the daemon's log file 248regarding missing spool files by 249.Xr lpd 1 . 250.Sh BUGS 251Fonts for 252.Xr troff 1 253and 254.Xr tex 255reside on the host with the printer.
