The lp command is the normal print command on UNIX systems based on System V,
such as HP-UX and Sun/Solaris 2. The differences include the fact that the
environment variable PRINTER is replaced by the variable LPDEST;
that the switch to print to a remote printer other than the default is
lp -d printername
and the commands to examine the printer status and cancel a print job are
lpstat and cancel respectively. Consult the man pages for lp
on the system for further details.
