NAME
rlp - send LP line printer request to a remote system
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/rlp -Iid [-C class ][-J job][-T title][-i[numcols]] [-kfont ][-w num]
[-cdfghlnptv ] file
DESCRIPTION
rlp transfers a spooling request to a remote system to be printed. rlp communicates with a spooling dae-
mon on a remote system to transfer the spooling request. Options can be set only on the original system.
Transfers of a remote request use only the -I option and the file.
This command is intended to be used only by the spool system in response to the lp command and should
not be invoked directly (see lp(1)).
Options
rlp recognizes the following options and command-line arguments:
-Iid The argument id is the request ID.
-C class Take the class argument as a job classification for use on the banner page.
-J job Take the job argument as the job name to print on the banner page. Normally, the
first file’s name is used.
-T title Use the title argument as the title used by pr instead of the file name (see pr(1)).
-T
is ignored unless the -p option is specified.
-h Suppress the printing of the banner page.
-i[numcols] Cause the output to be indented. If the next argument is numeric, it is used as the
number of blanks to be printed before each line; otherwise, 8 characters are printed.
-kfont Specify a font to be mounted on font position k, where k is from 1
through 4.
-wnum Use the num argument number as the page width for pr.
The following single-letter options are used to notify the line printer spooler that the files are not standard
text files. The spooling system uses the appropriate filters (if the option is supported) to print the data
accordingly. These options are mutually exclusive.
-c The files are assumed to contain data produced by cifplot.
-d The files are assumed to contain data from tex (DVI format).
-f Use a filter that interprets the first character of each line as a standard FORTRAN car-
riage control character.
-g The files are assumed to contain standard plot data as produced by the plot routines.
-l Use a filter that suppresses page breaks.
-n The files are assumed to contain data from ditroff (device-independent troff).
-p Use pr to format the files.
-t The files are assumed to contain data from troff (cat phototypesetter commands).
-v The files are assumed to contain a raster image for devices such as the Benson Varian.
WARNINGS
Some remote line printer models may not support all of these options. Options not supported are silently
ignored.
When rlp is transferring a request that originated on another system, only the -I option and the file is
used. This saves rlp from having to set the various options multiple times. Specifying unused options
does not produce an error.
