xpp - X Printing Panel

xpp [options] [files] ...

This manual page briefly documents the xpp command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

xpp (the X Printing Panel) is a graphical interface to the CUPS printing system. It can be used as a drop-in replacement for lpr(1) or lp(1) for programs that want to spool print jobs, or to print files directly from the command line.

The following options are recognized by xpp:


Prints files to the named destination queue.
-# copies

Sets the number of copies to print from 1 to 100.

Sets the job name.

Sets the job name.

Sets the job name.

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

Sets a job option.

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.

Specifies that the named print files should be deleted after printing them.
Specify the priority of the print job (from 1 to 100).

The "c", "d", "f", "g", "i", "m", "v", and "w" options are not supported by XPP and will produce a warning message if used.
