Example lpr job submissions
NOTE
Job files to be submitted through an lpr command cannot contain blank
spaces, pound signs (#), equal signs (=), or colons (:) in their names.
NOTE
In order to use lpr printing, the TCP/IP Print Server must be installed and
started.
When submitting jobs to VIPO through lpr commands the VIPO Server
console will show the job names with extra numeric tags, or IDs,
appended to the file extension. Because all lpr jobs are sent to a common
spool area, the extra tags are needed to avoid file name collisions and
guarantee unique name identifiers. The unique tags generated by the
system are appended to the original files before file submission and
processing by the VIPO Server. The resulting files do not have the extra
numeric tags.
