Printing with the lp command z/OS UNIX System Services User's Guide SA23-2279-00 |
|
Using the shell: You can use the lp command
to send a previously formatted file to a JES printer:
You can specify more than one file name with the command. The lp command uses existing JES printer facilities. Because a default printer destination is assigned to you, you do not need to specify a destination (with the -d dest option) when entering the lp command. However, you can specify a destination other than the default by using the -d dest option. For -d dest, you can specify LOCAL for any printer or any of the symbolic destination names your systems programmer defined for JES printers. These symbolic names are defined locally. Class is a frequently used option, and at your site there might
be several different classes defined. For instance, C may
be designated the class for confidential information. Suppose that
you want to print the file temp.prt using the default printer
destination and specifying class C; you would enter
it in either of these ways:
The parameters on the -d option
are positional, so if you omit a destination, you must still include
the comma.To specify the number of copies you want printed, use the -n option.
For example,
requests the printing
of two copies of the formatted file in report2 to the default
printer destination.If you have z/OS Print Server installed on your system, you will use the Print Server version of the lp command. |
