NAME

       gpr - a graphical frontend for lpr.

SYNOPSIS

       gpr [-h] [--help] [-P <printer>]  [-J <job name>] [-r] [-n] [-p <flag>]
       [filename]...

DESCRIPTION

       gpr  is  a  graphical  interface  to  lpr  that   provides   for   easy
       configuration  of  printer-specific  options.  gpr  interfaces  with  a
       PostScript  printer’s  PPD  file  to   create   a   user-interface   of
       configurable  options.  Based  upon  user  choice,  the device-specific
       option code is then inserted into the PostScript job and  sent  to  the
       printer.   This can be used to tell the printer to duplex or staple the
       print job, or tell it what paper tray to draw paper  from.   NOTE:  gpr
       will detect if the file to be print is postscript, and, if not, it will
       call a2ps to preprocess it before sending it to ppdfilt and to lpr.

OPTIONS

       gpr accepts the following options:

       -h, --help
              Show summary of options.

       -P     Specify a destination printer

       -d     Enable debugging output

       -J     lpr option: Job name to print on burst page

       -r     lpr option: Remove the files upon completion of spooling

       -n     gpr option: Print the command line  rather  than  executing  the
              command

       -p       gpr  option: Use ppdfilt: 0 = Never, 1 = Always, 2 = with non-
              default PPD
