Printing

lpr

Print a file.

lpq

View the print queue.

lprm

Remove a print job from the queue.

You can print directly from the command line using the lpr family of commands. Well…sort of. Out of the box, these commands work fine for plain text and PostScript files, but not for documents like spreadsheets or Photoshop images. For those, you’ll need to run the document’s application (e.g., Photoshop) and use its Print command.
