| -f form-name |

not support form-name, if form-name is not defined for the system, or if the user is not allowed to
use form-name |
| -H
special-handling |
Prints the print request according to the value of special-handling. The following special-handling values are acceptable:

Do not print the print request until notified. If printing has already begun, stop it. Other print requests will go ahead of a request that has been put on hold (held print request) until the print request is resumed. |
| resume |
Resume a held print request. If the print request had begun to print when held, it will be the next print request printed, unless it is superseded by an immediate print request. |
| immediate |
Print the print request next. If more than one print request is assigned, the most recent print request is printed next. If a print request is currently printing on the desired printer, a hold request must be issued to allow the immediate request to print. The
immedi ate request is only available to LP |

to be printed. |

| -q priority level |
Assigns the print request a priority in the print queue. Specify priority-level as an integer
between from 0 and 39. Use 0 to indicate the highest priority; 39 to indicate the lowest
priority. If no priority is specified, the default priority for a print service is assigned by the LP
administrator. The LP administrator may also assign a default priority to individual users. |
| -S character-set |
print-wheel |
Prints the request using the character-set or print-wheel. If a form was requested and requires a character set or print wheel other than the one specified with the -S option, the request is rejected. Printers using mountable print wheels or
font cartridges use the print wheel or font cartridge mounted at the time of the print request, unless the -S option is specified.
Printers Using Print Wheels: If print wheel is not one listed by the LP administrator as
acceptable for the printer the request is rejected unless the print wheel is already mounted on the printer.
Printers Using Selectable or Programmable
Character Sets: If the -S option is not specified, lp uses the standard character set. If character-set
is not defined in the terminfo database for the printer, or is not an alias defined by the LP administrator, the request is
rejected. |

| -T content-type [-r] |
Prints the request on a printer that can support the specified content-type. If no printer accepts
this type directly, a filter will be used to convert the content into an acceptable type. If the
-r option is specified, a filter will not be used. If -r is specified, and no printer accepts the content-type directly, the request is rejected. If the content-type is not acceptable to any printer, either directly or with a filter, the request is rejected. |
| -y mode-list |
Prints the request according to the printing modes listed in mode-list. The allowed values for
mode-list are locally defined.
This option may be used only if there is a filter available to handle it; otherwise, the print
request will be rejected. |
| filename |
The name of the file that you want to print. |
