There are a lot of options, so you should probably wrap some default configurations into some shell scripts.

nprint looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more information. Please note that the access permissions of .nwclient MUST be 600, for security reasons.

filename is the name of the file you want to print. If file is '-', or no filename is given, standard input is used.

-h

-h is used to print out a short help text.

-S server

server is the name of the server you want to use.

-U username

username is the user name to use for the print request at the server.

-P password

password is the password to use for the print request at the server. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nprint prompts for a password.

-n

-n should be given if no password is required for the print request.

-C

By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off this conversion by -C.

-q queuename

queuename is the name of the print queue to use at the print server. At present, you must specify it in upper case characters.

job-description is the string that appears in pconsole when you list the jobs for the print queue. It will also appear in the "Description" field on the banner page.

-f filename-in-banner

filename-in-banner is the string (up to 12 characters) you want to appear in large letters on the lower part of the banner page. Default: the name of the file that is printed, or 'stdin'.

-N
