According to the CUPS documentation: lp -o raw -d lpt1 filename Raw or Unfiltered Output: http://cups.org/sum.html#4_7 > Are their some links that can describe the differences between lp and lpr When I find the provided man page isn't very helpful I look at the Single UNIX Specification (aka POSIX) man page to see if it offers some insight. The rationale often provides some historical background of the command. Of course, it only covers POSIX commands. http://www.unix.org/single_unix_specification/ The lp man page states that lp is from the System V print system and lpr is from the BSD print system. They perform similar functions. (CUPS appears to have implemented both commands based on the original versions.) -- David Norris http://www.webaugur.com/dave/ ICQ - 412039 ----------------------------------------------------------------- David, Thank you very much!!!
