Using the lp command

The UNIX system lp command sends print jobs to a printer. Open a UNIX window and enter:

lp filename

After you send a request to print a file, you see:

request id is printername-request id number (1 file)

You can use the request identification number (known as the request-ID) to cancel your print job.
