lpoptions(1)


NAME

   lpoptions - display or set printer options and defaults

SYNOPSIS

   lpoptions   [   -E   ]  [  -U  username  ]  [  -h  server[:port]  ]  -d
   destination[/instance] [ -l ]
   lpoptions  [  -E  ]  [  -U  username  ]  [  -h  server[:port]  ]  [  -p
   destination[/instance] ] -o option[=value] ...
   lpoptions  [  -E  ]  [  -U  username  ]  [  -h  server[:port]  ]  [  -p
   destination[/instance] ] -r option
   lpoptions  [  -E  ]  [  -U  username  ]  [  -h   server[:port]   ]   -x
   destination[/instance]

DESCRIPTION

   lpoptions displays or sets printer options and defaults.  If no printer
   is specified using the -p  option,  the  default  printer  is  used  as
   described in lp(1).

   If  no  -l,  -o,  or  -r options are specified, the current options are
   reported on the standard output.

   Options set with the lpoptions command are used by the lp(1) and lpr(1)
   commands when submitting jobs.

   When  run by the root user, lpoptions gets and sets default options and
   instances for all users in the  /etc/cups/lpoptions  file.   Otherwise,
   the per-user defaults are managed in the ~/.cups/lpoptions file.

OPTIONS

   lpoptions supports the following options:

   -E   Enables encryption when communicating with the CUPS server.

   -U username
        Uses an alternate username.

   -d destination[/instance]
        Sets  the  user  default  printer  to destination.  If instance is
        supplied then that  particular  instance  is  used.   This  option
        overrides the system default printer for the current user.

   -h server[:port]
        Uses an alternate server.

   -l   Lists the printer specific options and their current settings.

   -o option[=value]
        Specifies a new option for the named destination.

   -p destination[/instance]
        Sets  the  destination and instance, if specified, for any options
        that follow.  If the named instance does  not  exist  then  it  is
        created.   Destinations  can  only be created using the lpadmin(8)
        program.

   -r option
        Removes the specified option from the named destination.

   -x destination[/instance]
        Removes the options for the named  destination  and  instance,  if
        specified.   If  the  named instance does not exist then this does
        nothing.  Destinations can only be removed  using  the  lpadmin(8)
        command.

FILES

   ~/.cups/lpoptions  -  user  defaults  and instances created by non-root
   users.
   /etc/cups/lpoptions - system-wide defaults and instances created by the
   root user.

CONFORMING TO

   The lpoptions command is unique to CUPS.
