For example, use the LPR command to print
five copies of the plot file test.txt from the 999.9.999.9 network address
to printer1: lpr -S999.9.999.9 -Pprinter1 -Og test.txt,5
The attributes and options listed in the RFC1179 document, as well as custom switches, have been implemented in the LPR utility. The LPR option switch syntax is a “-” immediately followed by the case-sensitive switch characters, a space, then the attribute (if any). Separate switch-attribute pairs with a space. Switches are case-sensitive.

five copies of the plot file test.txt from the 999.9.999.9 network address
