DESCRIPTION
       lp submits files for printing or alters a pending job.

       cancel cancels existing print jobs. The -a option will remove all  jobs
       from the specified destination.

OPTIONS
       The following options are recognized by lp:

       -E
            Forces encryption when connecting to the server.

       -c
            This  option is provided for backwards-compatibility only. On sys-
            tems that support it, this option forces  the  print  file  to  be
            copied  to  the  spool  directory  before printing. In CUPS, print
            files are always sent to the scheduler via IPP which has the  same
            effect.

       -d destination
            Prints files to the named printer.

       -h hostname
            Specifies the print server hostname. The default is "localhost" or
            the value of the CUPS_SERVER environment variable.

       -i job-id
            Specifies an existing job to modify.

       -m
            Send email when the job is completed (not supported CUPS 1.1.)

       -n copies
            Sets the number of copies to print from 1 to 100.

       -o option
            Sets a job option.

       -q priority
            Sets the job priority  from  1  (lowest)  to  100  (highest).  The
            default priority is 50.

       -s
            Do not report the resulting job IDs (silent mode.)

       -t name
            Sets the job name.

       -H handling
            Specifies  when  the  job  should be printed. A value of immediate
            will print the file immediately, a value of hold will hold the job
            indefinitely, and a time value (HH:MM) will hold the job until the
            specified time. Use a value of resume with the -i option to resume
            a held job.

       -P page-list
            Specifies  which pages to print in the document. The list can con-
            tain a list of numbers and ranges (#-#) separated by commas  (e.g.
            1,3-5,16).

COMPATIBILITY
       Unlike  the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to con-
       tain any printable character except SPACE and TAB.  Also,  printer  and
       class names are not case-sensitive.

       The "m" option is not functional in CUPS 1.1.

       The  "q" option accepts a different range of values than the Solaris lp
       command, matching the IPP job priority values (1-100)  instead  of  the
       Solaris values (0-39).
