You can specify any file format that CUPS supports, such as PS, BMP, TIFF, or JPEG.
For details about the file formats that CUPS supports, see the homepage for the Common UNIX Printing System (http://www.cups.org/).

When you use the lpr command to print a file, enter the command as follows:

[user@zzz /yyyy]$ lpr -P MP520 [filename] {-o option}

option

Enter option after "-o" in the lpr command. You can also enter it within " ".

The following option values are available. If you omit option, the default values that printer driver stores internally are used.

If you change a printer setting through the CUPS Web interface, the new value becomes the default.

If you do not enter a registered printer name, the default printer is used.

There are print option combinations that cannot be specified. If a print option is specified incorrectly, the print option is ignored and printing is processed according to the default option and parameter values. For information on other restrictions of the lpr command, see "Usage Restrictions of the lpr and cngpij commands" in "Main Restrictions."
