xpp1

Usage

Overview

This manual page briefly documents the xpp command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

xpp (the X Printing Panel) is a graphical interface to the CUPS printing system. It can be used as a drop-in replacement for lpr(1) or lp(1) for programs that want to spool print jobs, or to print files directly from the command line.

Options

The following options are recognized by xpp:

-d destination

-P destination

Prints files to the named destination queue.

-# copies

Sets the number of copies to print from 1 to 100.

-C name

Sets the job name.

-J name

Sets the job name.

-t name

-T name

Sets the job name.

-l

Specifies that the print file is already formatted for the destination and should be sent without filtering. This option is equivalent to "-oraw".

-o option

Sets a job option.

-p

Specifies that the print file should be formatted with a shaded header with the date, time, job name, and page number. This option is equivalent to "-oprettyprint" and is only useful when printing text files.

-r

Specifies that the named print files should be deleted after printing them.

-q priority

Specify the priority of the print job (from 1 to 100).

Compatibility

The "c", "d", "f", "g", "i", "m", "v", and "w" options are not supported by XPP and will produce a warning message if used.
