7.64 What happened to 'lpr' and other misc. lp hints?

The Berkeley printer queue system is being phased out over the next few years. 
All new workstations and printers will have the HP-UX LP printer utilities 
instead. Here's a short cheatsheet: 
    lpr -Pvaxps         -> lp -dvaxps
    lpq -Pvaxps         -> lpstat vaxps
    lprm -Pvaxps ID     -> cancel vaxps ID

Why would I want to switch over to the System-V-style HP-UX LP spooler?
Because you can do neat things like: 
    % lp -dvaxps -odouble FILENAME      
which will print double-sided, that is, on both sides of the paper, 
if your printer supports it. 

How do I send output from nroff to HP LaserJet printers?
Try this:    nroff -Tlj ... | lp -onroff
