To submit a print job, type the print command and its options on the
command line using the following syntax:
Syntax print -printername <vpname> [<options>] <filenames>
OR
print -p <vpname> [<options>] <filenames>
Note: The syntax above only works when printing to the default

Note: In UNIX, when you specify the name of the file, make sure it

characters in filenames may conflict with other UNIX commands and
expressions.

of the first file appears as the job name.
Options In addition to the required arguments, you can use any of the
following options to specify print characteristics. You may enter more
than one option at a time.
When entering options, you only need to enter as many characters

characters underlined in the option name make the options unique.
When entering the arbitrary text after the print options, shown in
angle brackets below, make sure the text string does not contain any
spaces. If you enter text that contains spaces, enclose the text with
double quotation marks.
