     NAME
          lpr- line printer spooler

     SYNOPSIS
          lpr [ -m ] [ name ... ]

          lp0 [ name ... ]
          lp1 [ name ... ]

     DESCRIPTION
          Lpr causes the named files to be queued for printing.  If no
          files are named, the standard input is read.  The option -m
          causes notification via mail(1) to be sent when the job com-
          pletes.

          Lp0 and lp1 direct output to particular printers.

     FILES

          /usr/lib/lpf        filter to handle banners and underlining
