LP file printing utility version 1.5 copyright 1989 by Matt Blaze
SYNOPSIS:
lp [options] file [file...]
DESCRIPTION:
Lp is a simple printer utility designed to send paginated output to
a printer. The behavior of lp is controled by command line arguments
with which the user may specify optional flags to alter the default
printer parameters, followed by the names of the file(s) to be printed.
Flags are specified BEFORE the files you want them to affect, as follows:
-p: Print header on each page
-n: do Not print header (default)
-s: pause between Sheets
-f: do not use Formfeed, use newlines
-v: Verbose mode (tells you about illegal chars in files)
-h N: set form Height to N lines (default=66 or HEIGHT environment)
-w N: set Width to N characters per line (default=80 or WIDTH environment)
-m N: set N line Margin at top and bottom of form (default=3 or MARGIN env)
-t N: Tab stops every N columns (default=8 or TAB environment)
-d DEVICE: send output to DEVICE (default="PRN:" or PRINTER environment)
--: print to stdout
- (by itself): prints from standard input
This is user supported software, and is distributed without charge.
The lp printer utility was written in the C language by Matt Blaze and is
free to anyone who wants it. It is copyrighted, and may not be sold or
otherwise distributed for commericial gain without the written consent of
the owner. You may (and I hope you will) give it away to anyone who can
use it or install it on any computer system you like provided that no
attempt is made to alter this message and no charge is imposed.

and more complete documentation.
