Printing from UNIX - 27
Printing (Solaris)
This section describes the procedure for printing from workstations
running or Solaris.
Refer to:
Manuals that came with the workstations.
Print (LP)
The "lp" command is used for printing.
Command Format
lp [-d Printer name] [-n No. of copies] File name
Command Options
The following command options are available:
-d Printer name
Specify the printer name registered by the "lpadmin" command
as the -d option. If this option is omitted, the default printer lp
will be specified.
-n No. of copies
This option specifies the number of copies. If one "lp" command
is issued to print multiple files, the number of copies specified
by this option will apply to all the files.
However, this option is effective when the printer is in the spool
mode. In the non-spool mode, the client must be a Windows
NT machine to use this option.
Precautions
> Among options not listed above (e.g. -m option), those not
processed by the workstation which sends the print
instructions will not be effective.
In the spool mode, up to 32 files can be printed by one "lp"
command. Files that come after the 32nd files will be ignored.
Sample
To print a file named "file1" to a printer set up as "P001", enter the
following command:
%lp -d P001 file1
