Options

-n

Specifies that the lprafp command displays only error messages, not informational messages.

-o "XAOPattribute=value..." | -o "Xattribute=value..."

Specifies the Infoprint Server job attributes that you want to use to print the files. For a list of job attributes, see Using job attributes.

Prefix the list of attributes with either XAOP or X. The “X” must be in uppercase.

If you use the:

• XAOP prefix and there are errors in the attributes or values, Infoprint Server rejects the print request. You see a server error message and Infoprint Server writes an error message in the z/OS system console log.
• X prefix and there are errors in the attributes or values, Infoprint Server accepts the print request but does not use the attributes. You do not see a server error message.

Tip:

Use the XAOP prefix so you know whether Infoprint Server accepted the print request.

To specify more than one attribute, you can repeat the -o option or you can specify more than one attribute separated with spaces. If a space or special character exists anywhere after the XAOP prefix, enclose the entire -o argument in single or double quotation marks.

For example:

-o XAOPattribute1=value
-o "XAOP attribute1=value"
-o "XAOPattribute1=value with spaces"
-o "XAOPattribute1=value attribute2=value"
-o XAOPattribute1=value -o XAOPattribute2=value        

If an attribute value contains spaces, do not enclose the value itself in quotation marks. For example, this does not work:

-o XAOPattribute="value with spaces"

-p printer

Specifies the name of the printer definition that your administrator created in the Printer Inventory. The default is the value of the LPR_PRINTER environment variable.

-q delay

Specifies the number of seconds between lprafp command retries. The default is 10 seconds.

-r retries

Specifies the number of times the lprafp command retries the transmission to the server. The default is 3 times.

-s server

Specifies the host name or IP address of the z/OS system where Infoprint Server is running. The default is the value of the LPR_SERVER environment variable.
