So Im taking this Linux course that I absolutely hate and one of the questions for my lab require me to do some research online to find the answer but I cant find it for anything.

The course primarily focuses on Red Hat.

Heres the question:

2. What command do you use to send a print job to the default printer and to a specific non-default printer? Research is required.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

To print to default from command line:

lpr <filename>


To print to specific printer:

lpr <filename> -Pprintername


also try lpr <tab><tab> for list of lpr commands
