HP-UX Reference (11i v2 03/08) - 1 User Commands A-M (vol 1)

l
lp(1) lp(1)
-m Send a mail message (see mail(1)) to the user after the request has been printed. By
default, no mail is sent upon normal completion of the print request.
-nnumber Print number copies of the output. If illegal number of copies is specified with this
option, the default number of copies is 1.
-ooption Specify a printer-dependent option. You can specify several printer options by repeating
the
-o option. For information about the options that are available for a printer sup-
ported on your system, see the interface script for the printer name in the
/etc/lp/interface
directory.
-ppriority Set the priority of the print request. priority must be in the range 0 (lowest priority) to 7
(highest priority). The priority is used by the
lpsched scheduler to select the next
spooled file for the targeted printer or class of printers. If the priority is less than the
fence, the minimum priority set for the printer, the print request is deferred until the
fence is lowered or the priority is raised. The default for a printer queue is the default
priority set by the
lpadmin or lpfence
command (see lpadmin (1M) and lpsched(1M)).
The default for a class queue is the highest default priority among printers in the class.
-s Suppress standard output messages from lp
such as "request id is ...". Error mes-
sages are still displayed on standard error.
-ttitle Print title on the banner page of the output. The maximum length of the title is 79 bytes.
title of length greater than 79 bytes is truncated to 79 bytes.
-w Write a message to the user’s terminal after the request has been printed. If the user is
not logged in, or if the user has denied messages to his terminal (see mesg(1)), or (for
remote printing) if rlpdaemon (see rlpdaemon (1M)) is not running on the user’s local
system, mail will be sent instead.
lpalt Command
The
lpalt command alters a request made by a previous lp command, if it is not currently printing.
(To requeue a currently printing request, use the disable command (see enable (1)) to stop the printer.)
lpalt Options
lpalt recognizes the following options and arguments, which can be specified in any order. Blanks are
not permitted between a keyletter and its argument.
id Specifies the request to be altered. id is a request
ID returned by
lp or lpalt.
-ddest Requeue the request to the named printer or class dest. A new unique request
ID is writ-
ten to standard output.
-i Alter only local requests.
-m Send mail upon normal completion of the print request.
-nnumber Change the number of copies to number.
-ooption Specify a printer-dependent option. You can specify several printer options by repeating
the -o option. All -o options from previous lp and lpalt commands for this request ID
are deleted.
-ppriority Change the request’s priority to priority .
-s Suppress standard output messages from lpalt such as "new request id is ...".
Error messages are still displayed on standard error.
-ttitle Change the title on the banner page of the output.
-w Write a message to the user’s terminal after the request has been printed. If the user is
not logged in or if the user has denied messages to his terminal (see mesg(1)) or (for
remote printing) if rlpdaemon (see rlpdaemon (1M)). is not running on the user’s local
system, mail will be sent instead.
cancel Command
The
cancel command cancels requests that were made with the lp command, even if they are currently
printing.
The cancellation of a request that is currently printing frees the printer to print its next available
request.
