NAME

     lpr - on line print



SYNOPSIS

     lpr [ - ] [ + ] [ +- ]file ...



DESCRIPTION

     Lpr arranges to have the line printer daemon print the  file

     arguments.



     Normally, each file is printed in the state it is found when

     the  line  printer  daemon  reads  it.  If a particular file

     argument is preceded by +, or a preceding argument of +  has

     been  encountered,  then lpr will make a copy for the daemon

     to print.  If the file argument  is  preceded  by  -,  or  a

     preceding  argument of - has been encountered, then lpr will

     unlink (remove) the file.



     If there are no arguments, then the standard input  is  read

     and on-line printed.  Thus lpr may be used as a filter.
