Printing from the Linux Shell or Terminal Window within the

X-Window System

The Linux environment has the ability to directly interface with the devices attached to

the computer. There are three basic commands to initiate, view, and delete print jobs:

LPR

LPQ

LPRM

LPR sends the document to the designated printer; this is the format:

$ lpr [ options ] [ filename ... ]

Example: $ lpr thesis.txt prints the file named thesis.txt

Options:

-#x = number of copies

Example: $ lpr -#2 thesis.txt prints 2 copies

-Pprintername = specific printer name (if you have multiple printers installed)

Example: $ lpr -P3400 thesis.txt prints on the printer named 3400

LPQ displays all the documents that are in the printer queue waiting to be printed; this is

the format:

$ lpq

Example: $ lpq at the shell would return:

Rank

Owner

Active

mwf

LPRM deletes pending print jobs; this is the format:

$ lprm -

Example: $ lprm 31 would delete print job #31 (thesis.txt) from the queue.
