.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBlpoptions\fR displays or sets printer options and defaults.
If no printer is specified using the \fI\-p\fR option, the default printer is used as described in
.BR lp (1).
.LP
If no \fI\-l\fR, \fI\-o\fR, or \fI\-r\fR options are specified, the current options are reported on the standard output.
.LP
Options set with the \fBlpoptions\fR command are used by the
.BR lp (1)
and
.BR lpr (1)
commands when submitting jobs.
.LP
When run by the root user, \fBlpoptions\fR gets and sets default options and instances for all users in the \fI/etc/cups/lpoptions\fR file.
Otherwise, the per-user defaults are managed in the \fI~/.cups/lpoptions\fR file.
.SH OPTIONS
\fBlpoptions\fR supports the following options:

Enables encryption when communicating with the CUPS server.
.TP 5
\fB\-d \fIdestination\fR[\fB/\fIinstance\fR]
Sets the user default printer to \fIdestination\fR.

.TP 5
\fB\-h \fIserver\fR[\fB:\fIport\fR]
Uses an alternate server.
.TP 5

Specifies a new option for the named destination.
.TP 5
\fB\-p \fIdestination\fR[\fB/\fIinstance\fR]
Sets the destination and instance, if specified, for any options that follow.
If the named instance does not exist then it is created.
Destinations can only be created using the
.BR lpadmin (8)
program.
.TP 5
\fB\-r \fIoption\fR
Removes the specified option from the named destination.
.TP 5
\fB\-x \fIdestination\fR[\fB/\fIinstance\fR]
Removes the options for the named destination and instance, if specified.
If the named instance does not exist then this does nothing.
Destinations can only be removed using the
.BR lpadmin (8)
command.
.SH FILES
