If you are printing from Sun Solaris, HP-UX, IBM AIX, or Linux with CUPS, use the following command to change
properties:
# lp -d queue_name -o property_name=property_value file_name
If you are printing from Linux with the LPRng print subsystem, use the following command to change
properties:
# lpr -P queue_name -C "lexopts:property_name=property_value"
file_name
Example:
You have a print queue (“lab_printer”) that is currently set to print only single-sided pages, and you need
to print a two-sided report. You can specify the change at the command line.
1
Determine if the print queue supports the feature you want to use (in this case, duplex printing), and type the
appropriate command.
# /usr/lexprint/bin/lsqueue_opts -q lab_printer
The screen then reads:
duplex
none (default)
short_edge
long_edge
printer setting
2
Find the property name and value that controls duplexing. For this example, use
duplex=long_edge
.
3
If you are printing from Sun Solaris, HP-UX, IBM AIX, or Linux with CUPS, type the following at the command line:
# lp -d lab_printer -o duplex=long_edge my_report.ps
If you are printing from Linux using the LPRng print subsystem, type the following at the command line:
# lpr -P lab_printer -C "lexopts:duplex=long_edge" my_report.ps
Printing a file
