NAME

       lpd_print - send a file to a remote lpd print spooler

SYNOPSIS

       lpd_print  [-f  file]  [-j id_num] [-v] queue@host  | host
       [queue]

DESCRIPTION

       lpd_print sends data to the BSD  line  printer  daemon  at
       host.   The  job  is spooled to queue, or lp if not speci-
       fied.  The job id given to the remote host is id_num, or 1
       if  not  specified.   If  file is not specified, lpd_print
       sends data from STDIN.  No banner page will be printed.

       To be compliant with RFC-1179, this program must run  SUID
       root,  so  that  a  privileged  outbound port may be used.
       However, many lpd servers found on networked  printers  do
       not enforce this requirement.

OPTIONS

       -f file
              Send data from file instead of STDIN.

       -j job_id
              Set  the  job  id  to  be job_id.  This should be a
              three digit number from 001  to  999.   Default  is
              001.

       -v     Print warnings and fatal errors.

       -vv    Print  warnings, fatal errors, and informative mes-
              sages.

       -vvv   Print everything (debug level).

BUGS

       The timeout value for the connect is not adjustable.  Many
       details of the control file cannot be specified.
