Printing a message

To print the current message, enter lp at the mail prompt.

You can also print all the messages from a particular user, by entering lp login.

Print several messages by specifying the message numbers individually, as ranges, or a mix of both.

To print your message to a printer other than the default printer for your system, first save the message to a file, and then print the file by typing lp -d printer filename at the system prompt, or !lp -d printer filename at the mail prompt. This sends the file filename to the named printer. For example:

!lp -d laser peters_memo

prints the saved message peters_memo on the printer laser.
