device name. If this flag is not specified, the default printer
is assumed.
–Q Value Specifies paper size for the print job. The Value for paper
size is printer–dependent. Typical values are: 1 for
letter–size paper, 2 for legal, and so on. Consult your printer
manual for the values assigned to specific paper sizes.
–t Number Specifies the top margin. The top margin is the number of
blank lines to be left at the top of each page.

by the Number variable. The page width must include the
number of indention spaces specified with the –i flag.

j Displays the job number for the specified print job
h Queues the print job, but puts it in the HELD state
until it is released again.
v Validates the specified printer backend flag values.
This validation is useful in checking for illegal flag
values at the time of submitting a print job. If the
validation is not specified, an incorrect flag value will
stop the print job later when the job is actually being
processed.
