Many different remote printer names may be set up, all directed
to the same interface card remote host, and each is given a
different local printer name to be redirected. Different types of
print jobs may thus be sent to different printer names, which will
then all print out on the same printer, through the same interface
card interface, but using different filters.
The remote printer name options used to invoke the different
filters are as follows:
All other remote printer name options will be treated the same as
lpb.
The following is an example of sending a text file, "txtfile", via lpr
with a form feed appended:
% lpr -plpaf txtfile
Setting Up Different UNIX Systems Using the lpr
Command

HP-UX 9.05 or later
SCO UNIX 4.2 or later

lpa ASCII files (carriage returns at line ends)
lpbf Binary file with form feed at file end
