-P printer

Use printer as default destination.

-d printer

This option is equivalent to "-P".

-c configdir

Use configdir to set an alternative path to the configfiles for GtkLP.

-S server

The name of the CUPS-Server.

-h server

The same as -S.

-p port

The port of CUPS-Server, 631 per default.

-l

Only list the chosen options as a list of commandline-parameters for lpr. Nice for scripting purposes...

-D

Debug.

-V

Displays the version of GtkLP.

-b

Use builtin defaults instead of saved options

-i

Ignore data on stdin. Sometimes useful, e.g. for printing from some versions of the Acrobat Reader.

-U user

The name of the cups-User to use.

-# n

Make n copies per default.

-n n

The same as -#.

-H

Help

-C

Force console-mode

-o option=value

Specify extra options, same syntax as lpr

-E

Forces encryption when connecting to the server.

-q priority

Specify the priority of the print job, from 1 (lowest) to 100 (highest)

-t jobname

Specify the jobname

-J jobname

The same as -t.

If called as lp, the following options differ from GtkLP`s options:

-X

Force X-Mode, even if GTKLP_FORCEX is not set to 1 .TP5 -P page-list Specifies which pages to print in the document. The list can contain a list of numbers and ranges (#-#) separated by commas (e.g. 1,3-5,16).

-H handling

Specifies when the job should be printed. A value of immediate will print the file immediately, a value of hold will hold the job indefinitely, and a time value (HH:MM) will hold the job until the specified time. (does this option work ?)

If called as lpr, the following options differ from GtkLP`s options:

-X

Force X-Mode, even if GTKLP_FORCEX is not set to 1 .TP5 -C jobname Specify the jobname .TP5 -T jobname The same as -C. .TP5 -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. .TP5 -l Specifies that the print file is already formatted for the destination and should be sent without filtering. This option is equivalent to "-oraw".

without error message

To hide Printers from users, use the following pathes: /etc/gtklp/accept/ /etc/gtklp/deny/ $HOME/.gtklp/

Just put an empty file with the name of the printer the user should see by default to accept, put an empty file with the name of the printer the user should never see to deny. The accept values can be overwritten by the user, the deny values can't.

If you can't connect to an X-Server, GtkLP acts as console-lpr.

If called as lpr, or lp, GtkLP acts on console and has some other command-line parameters, see above.

CUPS_SERVER

The default CUPS-server to connect to

IPP_PORT

The default Port of the CUPS-server to connect to

PRINTER

The default printer to use

GTKLP_FORCEX

Set to 1 to force X-Mode for lpr and lp

0

normal program termination

1

small error, wrong parameters, etc.

2

Server Problems, server not found, no default printer found, etc.

3

BAD error. Fields declared too short, too many printers, etc.
