CLI print file

[wlraider70]

I have a file that I want to print from the command line.
There is already a CUPS printer setup.

Can I do that?

Have a look at the lp command. This allows you to print to the printer. Ex. lp filename.

[wlraider70]

server@hyrule:~/Documents$ lp printme
lp: Error - no default destination available.


does that refer to a printer?



this is the site I found helpful

Yes. You can also do lp -d printername filename For more info on this command look at the man page: man lp or the site you mentioned whcih is basically the man page of lp.
