X Printing Panel

## NAME

xpp - X Printing Panel

## SYNOPSIS

**xpp** \[*options*\] \[*files*\] ...

## DESCRIPTION

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)](/lpr/1.md) or [lp(1)](/lp/1.md) for programs that want to spool print jobs, or to print files directly from the command line.

## OPTIONS

The following options are recognized by **xpp**:

- \-d *destination*

  - \-P *destination*

  Prints files to the named *destination* queue.

- \-# *copies*

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

- \-C *name*

  Sets the job name.

- \-J *name*

  Sets the job name.

- \-t *name*

  - \-T *name*

  Sets the job name.

- \-l

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

- \-o *option*

  Sets a job option.

- \-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.

- \-r

  Specifies that the named print files should be deleted after printing them.

- \-q *priority*

  Specify the priority of the print job (from 1 to 100).

## COMPATIBILITY

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