DESCRIPTION
       lp submits files for printing or alters a pending job.  Use a  filename
       of "-" to force printing from the standard input.

   THE DEFAULT DESTINATION
       CUPS  provides many ways to set the default destination. The LPDEST and
       PRINTER environment variables are consulted first.  If neither are set,
       the  current  default  set using the lpoptions(1) command is used, fol‐
       lowed by the default set using the lpadmin(8) command.

OPTIONS
       The following options are recognized by lp:

       --   Marks the end of options; use this to  print  a  file  whose  name
	    begins with a dash (-).

       -E   Forces encryption when connecting to the server.

       -U username
	    Specifies the username to use when connecting to the server.

       -c   This  option is provided for backwards-compatibility only. On sys‐
	    tems 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[:port]
	    Chooses an alternate server.

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

       -m   Sends an email when the job is completed.

       -n copies
	    Sets the number of copies to print.

       -o "name=value [ ... name=value ]"
	    Sets one or more job options.  See "COMMON JOB OPTIONS" below.

       -q priority
	    Sets  the  job  priority  from  1  (lowest) to 100 (highest).  The
	    default priority is 50.

       -s   Do not report the resulting job IDs (silent mode.)

       -t "name"
	    Sets the job name.

       -H hh:mm

       -H hold

       -H immediate

       -H restart

       -H resume
	    Specifies when the job should be printed.  A  value	 of  immediate
	    will print the file immediately, a value of hold will hold the job
	    indefinitely, and a UTC time value (HH:MM) will hold the job until
	    the	 specified  UTC	 (not local) time.  Use a value of resume with
	    the -i option to resume a held job.	 Use a value of	 restart  with
	    the -i option to restart a completed job.

       -P page-list
	    Specifies which pages to print in the document.  The list can con‐
	    tain a list of numbers and ranges (#-#) separated by commas, e.g.,
	    "1,3-5,16".	  The  page  numbers refer to the output pages and not
	    the document's original  pages  -  options	like  "number-up"  can
	    affect the numbering of the pages.

   COMMON JOB OPTIONS
       Aside  from  the	 printer-specific options reported by the lpoptions(1)
       command, the following generic options are available:

       -o collate=true
	    Prints collated copies.

       -o fit-to-page
	    Scales the print file to fit on the page.

       -o job-hold-until=when
	    Holds the job until the  specified	local  time.   "when"  can  be
	    "indefinite"  to  hold the until released, "day-time" to print the
	    job between 6am and 6pm local  time,  "night"  to  print  the  job
	    between  6pm  and  6am local time, "second-shift" to print the job
	    between 4pm and 12am local time, "third-shift" to  print  the  job
	    between  12am and 8am local time, or "weekend" to print the job on
	    Saturday or Sunday.

       -o job-hold-until=hh:mm
	    Holds the job until the specified time in hours and minutes UTC.

       -o job-priority=priority
	    Set the priority to a value from  1	 (lowest)  to  100  (highest),
	    which  influences  when  a	job  is	 scheduled  for printing.  The
	    default priority is typically 50.

       -o job-sheets=name
	    Prints a cover page (banner) with the document.  The "name" can be
	    "classified",  "confidential",  "secret", "standard", "topsecret",
	    or "unclassified".

       -o job-sheets=start-name,end-name
	    Prints cover pages (banners) with the document.

       -o media=size
	    Sets the page size to size. Most printers  support	at  least  the
	    size names "a4", "letter", and "legal".

       -o mirror
	    Mirrors each page.

       -o number-up={2|4|6|9|16}
	    Prints  2,	4,  6,	9, or 16 document (input) pages on each output
	    page.

       -o number-up-layout=layout
	    Specifies the layout of pages with the  "number-up"	 option.   The
	    "layout"  string  can  be  "btlr", "btrl", "lrbt", "lrtb", "rlbt",
	    "rltb", "tblr", or "tbrl" - the first two  letters	determine  the
	    column order while the second two letters determine the row order.
	    "bt" is bottom-to-top, "lr" is left-to-right,  "rl"	 is  right-to-
	    left, and "tb" is top-to-bottom.

       -o orientation-requested=4
	    Prints  the	 job  in  landscape (rotated 90 degrees counter-clock‐
	    wise).

       -o orientation-requested=5
	    Prints the job in landscape (rotated 90 degrees clockwise).

       -o orientation-requested=6
	    Prints the job in reverse portrait (rotated 180 degrees).

       -o outputorder=reverse
	    Prints pages in reverse order.

       -o page-border=border
	    Prints a border around each document page.	"border" is  "double",
	    "double-thick", "single", or "single-thick".

       -o page-ranges=page-list
	    Specifies which pages to print in the document.  The list can con‐
	    tain a list of numbers and ranges (#-#) separated by commas, e.g.,
	    "1,3-5,16".	  The  page  numbers refer to the output pages and not
	    the document's original  pages  -  options	like  "number-up"  can
	    affect the numbering of the pages.

       -o sides=one-sided
	    Prints on one side of the paper.

       -o sides=two-sided-long-edge
	    Prints on both sides of the paper for portrait output.

       -o sides=two-sided-short-edge
	    Prints on both sides of the paper for landscape output.

CONFORMING TO
       Unlike  the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to con‐
       tain any printable character except SPACE, TAB,	"/",  or  "#".	 Also,
       printer and class names are not case-sensitive.

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

EXAMPLES
       Print two copies of a document to the default printer:

	   lp -n 2 filename

       Print a double-sided legal document to a printer called "foo":

	   lp -d foo -o media=legal -o sides=two-sided-long-edge filename

       Print a presentation document 2-up to a printer called "foo":

	   lp -d foo -o number-up=2 filename
