Xerox 5222 manual Parameter, Delete lprm

8 Printer Environment Settings

• -C parameter

To print from the machine using the PostScript language, use the -C option to specify the form of output.

This option is valid in the spool mode. In the non-spool mode, the client must be a Windows NT machine to use this option.

NOTE: If the PostScript logical printer and the -C option are configured simultaneously using CentreWare Internet Services, some functions may not work as expected. Also, when specifying the PostScript logical printer as a default printer on UNIX, it is recommended not to use the -C option by lpr. Refer to the -C option of the lpr command.

NOTE: Some options which are not listed here (e.g. -m option) and which are not processed by the workstation sending the print instructions, will not be valid.

NOTE: In the spool mode, up to 32 files can be specified in one lpr command. Any files specified after the 32nd file will be ignored.

Example

To print a file named file1 to a printer named fxPS, enter the following command:

%lpr -PfxPS file1

To print three copies of file1 and three copies of file 2 to fxPS, enter the following:

%lpr -PfxPS -#3 file1 file2

To print a file named file1 to a printer named fxPS as an A4-sized (210 × 297 mm/

8.3×11.7 inches) duplex job, enter the following command:

%lpr -PfxPS -C,DUP,A4 file1

Delete (lprm)

The lprm command is used to delete print data.

Command format

/usr/ucb/lprm [-P printer name] job number

Command options

The following command options are available.

• -P printer name

This option specifies the printer name registered with /etc/printcap. If this option is omitted, the default printer lp will be used.

• job number

This option specifies the job number of the print data to be deleted. A job number is a serial number between 1 and 999 determined by the workstation. These numbers can be checked by issuing an lpq command.

Instead of a job number, you can specify a user name or “-”. This option is invalid in the non-spool mode.

•User name is only valid when you log in as a superuser. When this option is taken, all the print data you specify will be deleted.

This option is only valid in the spool mode.
