I'm not sure that I understand why you accepted that comment as an answer. I was really trying to figure out if you were really using lpr to print with on a Solaris system. Such a thing is possible, even though lpr wouldn't be a native command. It could be that someone has installed a BSD print system or it could be an alias.<br />

I would like to specify the port number in an LPR command. Currently I use LPR -P ipaddress:queueName. How would I specify a port address?

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
