Generic "lp" and "lptap" Options

Copies
The number of copies of a print job is specified using the "-n value" parameter with the "lp" com-
mand. The default value is determined by the "lp" command and it is always 1. The copies are
always collated.
Title
The title that is printed on the banner page can be specified using the "-t title" parameter with the
"lp" command. The default value is determined by the "lp" command and it is often the name of
the print file. If multiple files are printed using the same "lp" command the default title is set to the
name of the first file by the "lp" command.

General Options

The following options apply to all print files.
Option commands are case sensitive and must be entered exactly as shown.
Print Language
The "net_estbw" program needs to know what printer language is used in each of the files that it
is printing so that it can issue the correct commands to select various options. The following
options are valid for the print languages.
Option Value
auto
pcl
postscript
raw
All PCL5e jobs automatically send the "<esc>&k2G" command to convert the line-feed character
into a carriage-return - line-feed sequence. If the PCL5e job contains some of its own escape
sequences it may override this setting.
The default print language is "auto".
Example: The command to specify that a file is PostScript is "lp -o ps filename".
Alternate
Value
Each file to be printed is examined to see if it starts with
the "%!" sequence. If it does, then it is assumed that it is
a PostScript file, otherwise it assumes that it is a plain
text or a PCL6 file.
The print file is always treated as a plain text or a PCL6
file.
ps The file is always treated as a PostScript file.
The file is treated as a fully formatted file that already
contains all the necessary commands. The file is sent to
the printer without any modifications. In this mode no
other options are valid and a banner page is not printed.
