Printing files

To print a file use the command:

   lpr filename

The job is placed in the print queue and you can carry on working.

• Examples
• Did You Know
• Using a different printer
• Printing multiple copies
• Examining the print queue
• Cancelling a print request

Please note

Some versions of UNIX provide both an lp and an lpr command for printing files; other versions support only one or the other. If the lpr command is not available on your system use the lp command instead.
