NAME:
.lm 5
lpr - print file on line printer
.lm 0
.s
SYNOPSIS:
.lm 5
lpr [-8nr] [-b banner] [-c #] [-f #] [-p #] file [file ...]
.lm 0
.s
DESCRIPTION:
.lm 5
`Lpr' arranges for the named files to be printed (via the standard print
spooler) on the line printer.
.s
If no options are supplied the files are pagenated and printed at 6 lines
per inch and 60 lines per page using a banner of `lpr'.
.s
The `-8' option arranges that the files be printed at 8 lines per inch and
80 lines per page.
.s
The `-n' option arranges that a line number be prepended to each line
in the printed files.
The line numbers restart at 1 at the beginning of each file.
.s
The `-r' option supresses the pagenation and the top of page headings.
.s
The `-b' option causes the first 6 characters of the next argument to be
used as the banner on the flag page. If the banner string is longer than
6 characters it is silently truncated.
.s
The `-c' option causes the next argument to be interpreted as a decimal
number specifying the number of copies to be printed.
The default is 1.
.s
The `-f' option causes the next argument to be interpreted as a decimal
number specifying the form number to the spooler.
Consequently, it must be in the range 0 to 6 (inclusive).
The default is 0 (standard forms).
.s
The `-p' option causes the next argument to be interpreted as a decimal
number specifying the priority of the print job. The default is 50.

DIAGNOSTICS:
.lm 5
Most of the diagnostics are self explanatory and indicate that a file cannot
be accessed or that an option parameter is out of range.
.s
`Lpr' sends the spool file to the spooling system via the SPAWN facility and
the PRINT command.
Diagnostics from the MCR and/or the PRINT command may occurr in highly
abnormal situations.
