Printing Using the lp/lpr Command
Details of each command are explained.
Printing (lpr Command)
This section explains the printing procedure using the lpr command.
Format
-P<Logical Printer Name>
Specify a logical printer name immediately after P (with no space) to output data
to the specified printer.
If no logical printer name is specified, the logical printer lpr is selected.
-#<Copy Count>
Specify the number of copies by entering a numeric value from 1 to 99 for the
6030/6050 or 1 to 199 for the 6050A. If more than 100 for the 6030/6050 or more
than 1000 for the 6050A is specified, an error message is displayed and the
specification is canceled.
If nothing is entered, one copy is printed for the 6030/6050, and the default copy
count is used for the 6050A.
-s
Specify this to transfer a file by a symbolic link without storing in the spool area.
Bold characters represent input character strings in each example.
Do not delete or modify the file specified by <File Name> before the
processing of the print request ends completely.
The lpr options other than above are ignored.
