lp: Print a file to the default printer.
$ lp ${filenamename}
try on your machine
The command "lp ${filenamename}" is used to print a file using the "lp" command on a Unix or Linux system.
Here's an explanation of the different parts of the command:
- "lp": The "lp" command is a Unix and Linux command used to send files to a printer for printing.
- "${filenamename}": This is a variable that represents the name of the file you want to print. The actual name of the file will be inserted in place of "${filenamename}" when you run the command.
So when you run the command "lp ${filenamename}", it will send the specified file to the default printer for printing. Make sure to replace "${filenamename}" with the actual name of the file you want to print.
