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.

-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.
