Before printing, you may want to use the lpstat or lpc commands to list the available printers. You may want to also use the pr command to format a file for printing.

There are a few different commands that can be used to sent print jobs to the printer.

• lp (Line print)
• lpr (Line print request)
• lpd (Line print daemon)

The lpq command can be used to view and cancel print jobs in the print queue.

The lprm command can be used to remove a print job. In this example, the print with Job ID 3 is removed.

lprm 3

The - character removes every print job in the queue.
