hpr -- Command Spool a job for printing on the laser printer hpr [-Bcemnr] [-b banner] [ -f fontnum] [file ...] The command hpr spools each file for printing on the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet printer. If no file is named on the command line, hpr spools what it reads from the standard input. hpr recognizes the following options: -B Suppress printing of a banner page. Note that hpr outputs its banner in plain text; therefore, if you have a PostScript printer, you must use this option. If you do not, your printer will hang. -b banner Print banner on the banner page. The default banner is the user's login identifier. -c Copy each file into the spooling directory, instead of reading the file from its home directory. This option lets you edit a file before it has finished printing. -e Erase all ``soft fonts'' from the printer's memory. -f fontnum file1 ... fileN Load the Hewlett-Packard ``soft fonts'' stored in files file1 through fileN into the printer's memory; set the font identifiers to begin at fontnum. -m Write a message on the user's terminal when printing completes. -n Do not send a message (default). -r Remove the files when they have been spooled. The command hpskip aborts or restarts printing of the file that is currently being printed. The command hp converts nroff output into a form usable by the LaserJet. Examples To print the file foo on the LaserJet, type: hpr -B foo The following example loads the soft fonts in files foo, bar, and baz into the printer's memory, and sets their font identifiers to begin at 15: hpr -f 15 foo bar baz Files /dev/rhp -- Raw device for LaserJet printer /usr/lib/hpd -- Line-printer daemon for LaserJet printer /usr/spool/hpd -- Spool directory for LaserJet printer /usr/spool/hpd/dpid -- Daemon lockfile See Also commands, hp, hpd, hpskip, printer Notes Beginning with release 4.2, COHERENT also includes the lp print spooler. lp offers a more sophisticated way to manage printers, especially on machines that support multiple printers of the same type.
