Description

Packit 2fc92b
lpr submits files for printing.
Packit 2fc92b
Files named on the command line are sent to the named printer or the default destination if no destination is specified.
Packit 2fc92b
If no files are listed on the command-line, lpr reads the print file from the standard input.
Packit 2fc92b

The Default Destination

Packit 2fc92b
CUPS provides many ways to set the default destination. The LPDEST and PRINTER environment variables are consulted first.
Packit 2fc92b
If neither are set, the current default set using the
Packit 2fc92b
lpoptions(1)
Packit 2fc92b
command is used, followed by the default set using the
Packit 2fc92b
lpadmin(8)
Packit 2fc92b
command.
