DESCRIPTION

       GtkLP is an graphical frontend for CUPS, the Common UNIX Printing System.
       It  is  used  to  have  an  easy  (and  graphical)  access  to  all of the many options of
       cups-managed printers.

OPTIONS

       The following options are recognized by gtklp:

       -P printer
            Use printer as default destination.

       -d printer
            This option is equivalent to "-P".

       -c configdir
            Use configdir to set an alternative path to the configfiles for GtkLP.

       -S server
            The name of the CUPS-Server.

       -h server
            The same as -S.

       -p port
            The port of CUPS-Server, 631 per default.

       -l
            Only list the chosen options as a list of commandline-parameters for lpr.
            Nice for scripting purposes...

       -D
            Debug.

       -V
            Displays the version of GtkLP.

       -b
            Use builtin defaults instead of saved options

       -i
            Ignore data on stdin.
            Sometimes useful, e.g. for printing from some versions of the Acrobat Reader.

       -F
            Hide the File-Tab if file is given at the command-line.

       -U user
            The name of the cups-User to use.

       -# n
            Make n copies per default.

       -n n
            The same as -#.

       -H
            Help

       -C
            Force console-mode

       -o option=value
            Specify extra options, same syntax as lpr

       -E
            Forces encryption when connecting to the server.

       -q priority
            Specify the priority of the print job, from 1 (lowest) to 100 (highest)

       -t jobname
            Specify the jobname

       -J jobname
            The same as -t.

       If called as lp, the following options differ from GtkLP`s options:

       -X   Force X-Mode, even if GTKLP_FORCEX is not set to 1

       -P page-list
            Specifies which pages to print in the  document.  The list  can  contain  a  list  of
            numbers and ranges (#-#) separated by commas (e.g. 1,3-5,16).

       -H handling
            Specifies   when  the job should be printed. A value of immediate will print the file
            immediately, a value of hold will hold the job indefinitely, and a time value (HH:MM)
            will hold the job until the  specified  time.  (does this option work ?)

       If called as lpr, the following options differ from GtkLP`s options:

       -X   Force X-Mode, even if GTKLP_FORCEX is not set to 1

       -C jobname
            Specify the jobname

       -T jobname
            The same as -C.

       -p   Specifies that the print  file  should  be  formatted with  a  shaded header with the
            date, time,  job  name,  and   page   number.   This   option   is   equivalent    to
            "-oprettyprint" and is only useful when printing text files.

       -l   Specifies  that  the  print  file   is   already  formatted for  the  destination and
            should be sent without filtering. This option is equivalent to "-oraw".

       Some other options from systemv`s lp and berkeley`s lpr are ignored without error message

PATHS

       GtkLP looks for config-files under
       <configdir>
       then under
       $HOME/.gtklp/
       and at last under
       /etc/gtklp/.

       To hide Printers from users, use the following pathes:
       /etc/gtklp/accept/
       /etc/gtklp/deny/
       $HOME/.gtklp/

       Just put an empty file with the name of the printer the user  should  see  by  default  to
       accept,  put an empty file with the name of the printer the user should never see to deny.
       If only accept exists, all but the accepted printers are allowed.  If  only  deny  exists,
       all but the denied printers are accepted.
       All users can deny accepted printers, but they can't unhide denied ones.

SPECIAL

       In GtkLP you can define a browser to open the help URL, the CUPS-Homepage and so on.  Just
       use the your favorite HTML browser. The first $1 in command-line will  be  substituted  by
       the URL.

       If you can't connect to an X-Server, GtkLP acts as console-lpr.

       If called as lpr, or lp, GtkLP acts on console and has some other command-line parameters,
       see above.

VARIABLES

       You can set the following environment variables to influence the behaviour of GtkLP:

       CUPS_SERVER
            The default CUPS-server to connect to

       IPP_PORT
            The default Port of the CUPS-server to connect to

       PRINTER
            The default printer to use

       GTKLP_FORCEX
            Set to 1 to force X-Mode for lpr and lp

ERROR

       GtkLP produces the following Error-Codes:

       0    normal program termination

       1    small error, wrong parameters, etc.

       2    Server Problems, server not found, no default printer found, etc.

       3    BAD error. Fields declared too short, too many printers, etc.
