qprt Command
The qprt command creates and queues a print job to print the file you specify. If you specify
more than one file, all the files together make up one print job. These files are printed in the
order specified on the command line.
Before you can print a file, you must have read access to it. To remove a file after it has
printed, you must have write access to the directory that contains the file.
The basic format of the qprt command is:
qprt –PQueueName FileName
