+<h3><a name="THE_DEFAULT_DESTINATION">The Default Destination</a></h3>
+CUPS provides many ways to set the default destination. The <b>LPDEST</b> and <b>PRINTER</b> environment variables are consulted first.
+If neither are set, the current default set using the
+<a href="man-lpoptions.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>lpoptions</b>(1)</a>
+command is used, followed by the default set using the
+<a href="man-lpadmin.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>lpadmin</b>(8)</a>

<h2 class="title"><a name="OPTIONS">Options</a></h2>
The following options are recognized by <i>lp</i>:
<dl class="man">
-<dt>--
-<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><br>
-Marks the end of options; use this to print a file whose name
-begins with a dash (-).
-<dt>-E
-<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><br>
-Forces encryption when connecting to the server.
-<dt>-U username
-<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><br>
-Specifies the username to use when connecting to the server.
-<dt>-c
-<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><br>
-This option is provided for backwards-compatibility only. On
-systems that support it, this option forces the print file to be
-copied to the spool directory before printing. In CUPS, print
-files are always sent to the scheduler via IPP which has the
-same effect.
-<dt>-d destination
-<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><br>
-Prints files to the named printer.
-<dt>-h hostname[:port]
-<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><br>
-Chooses an alternate server.
-<dt>-i job-id
-<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><br>
-Specifies an existing job to modify.
-<dt>-m
-<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><br>
-Sends an email when the job is completed.
-<dt>-n copies
-<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><br>
-Sets the number of copies to print from 1 to 100.
-<dt>-o "name=value [name=value ...]"
-<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><br>
-Sets one or more job options.
-<dt>-q priority
-<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><br>
-Sets the job priority from 1 (lowest) to 100 (highest). The
-default priority is 50.
-<dt>-s
-<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><br>
-Do not report the resulting job IDs (silent mode.)
-<dt>-t "name"
-<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><br>
-Sets the job name.
-<dt>-H hh:mm
-<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><dt>-H hold
-<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><dt>-H immediate
-<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><dt>-H restart
-<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><dt>-H resume
-<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><br>
-Specifies when the job should be printed. A value of <i>immediate</i> will print
-the file immediately, a value of <i>hold</i> will hold the job indefinitely, and
-a UTC time value (HH:MM) will hold the job until the specified UTC (not local)
-time. Use a value of <i>resume</i> with the <i>-i</i> option to resume a held job.
-Use a value of <i>restart</i> with the <i>-i</i> option to restart
-a completed job.
-<dt>-P page-list
-<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><br>
-Specifies which pages to print in the document. The list can
-contain a list of numbers and ranges (#-#) separated by commas
-(e.g. 1,3-5,16). The page numbers refer to the output pages and
-not the document's original pages - options like "number-up" can
-affect the numbering of the pages.

+Unlike the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to contain any printable character except SPACE, TAB, "/", or "#".
+Also, printer and class names are <i>not</i> case-sensitive.
+<p>The <i>-q</i> option accepts a different range of values than the Solaris lp command, matching the IPP job priority values (1-100, 100 is highest priority) instead of the Solaris values (0-39, 0 is highest priority).
<h2 class="title"><a name="EXAMPLES">Examples</a></h2>
-Print a double-sided legal document to a printer called "foo":
+Print two copies of a document to the default printer:
<pre class="man">
- lp -d foo -o media=legal -o sides=two-sided-long-edge filename
+
+ lp -n 2 filename

</pre>
-<p>Print an image across 4 pages:

<pre class="man">
- lp -d bar -o scaling=200 filename
+
+ lp -d foo -o media=legal -o sides=two-sided-long-edge filename

</pre>
-<p>Print a text file with 12 characters per inch, 8 lines per inch, and
-a 1 inch left margin:
