lp(1)

 

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 to select the next spooled ®le 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.

-w

Write a message to the user's terminal after the request has been printed. If the user is

 

not logged in 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 speci®ed in any order. Blanks are not permitted between a keyletter and its argument.

id

Speci®es 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 written

 

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 -ooption. All -ooptions 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 "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 (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. At least one id or printer must be speci®ed.

The cancellation of a request that is currently printing frees the printer to print its next available request.

cancel Options and Arguments

cancel recognizes the following options and arguments, which can be speci®ed in any order. Blanks are not permitted between a keyletter and its argument.

id ...

Speci®es one or more requests. id is a request ID returned by lp or lpalt.

printer ...

Speci®es one or more printers. printer is the name of a printer, not a class. Either cancel

 

the request that is currently printing on each printer, or, if an -a, -e, or -uoption is

 

speci®ed, specify the printer on which to perform the corresponding operation.
