.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Netlpr
sends the named files, (or the standard input if none are named),
to a remote lineprinter; the 
.B \-m
option forces the files to be printed on the specified machine.
(If not specified, the default machine is used.)
The
.B \-l, 
.B \-p, 
.B \-f,
.B \-q,
and 
.B \-n
options behave exactly as in
.IR net (\*s).
If the
.B \-c
option is specified, the 
.I command
is used in place of `lpr'.
This allows the use of different lineprinters on the remote machine.
See the file
.I `/usr/net/network.map'
for a list of available commands.
Any other options are passed through to
.IR lpr (\*o)
on the remote machine.
Copies of the files are not made on the remote machine.
.PP
.I Netlpr
executes the
.IR net (\*s)
command.
