<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There seem to be two commands that allow you to
submit print jobs from the command line:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>lp</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>lpr</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If I use the command lp <namedprinter>
text.file, I get the response: request id is banta-12 (1
file(s)).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>However, if I use the command lpr
<namedprinter> text.file, I get no response, just the prompt
back.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been reading on how to configure CUPS and
these two commands seem to get tossed around with no explaination on which one
should be used. They apprear to do the same thing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks.</FONT></DIV>
