In the near future it will be available on the IR Unix systems as well. This allows Unix users to use either the lpr or lp commands to print. It also incorporates some file recognition on the print server, so that certain file formats are automatically converted before printing. This new server is more robust, faster, and due to the CUPS software, far more capable than the old one. Not only is CUPS completely backwards compatible with both the lpr and lp style of print commands, but it also supports many new options.
CUPS also permits options to be specified on the command line.
Pages always printed in order, so page 7 appears before page 9 in last example. Larger numbers brighten, smaller numberd darken. Set the characters per inch to, e.g. 8, 12. Set the number of lines per inch. Set the number of columns of text.
