z/OS USS–UNIX System Services Printing Commands

This chapter explains how to use the CA Spool LPD Interface z/OS USS‑UNIX System Services shell printing commands.

CA Spool LPD Interface includes enhanced z/OS USS-UNIX System Services shell printing commands, which provide more function than the standard USS printing commands. These enhanced commands facilitate the porting of UNIX applications to z/OS UNIX System Services:

lp

The lp command sends files for printing to CA LPD or CA Spool running on the local z/OS system or on a remote z/OS system. The files can be UNIX files or traditional MVS data sets, such as sequential data sets and partitioned data sets.

lpstat

The lpstat command queries the status of CA Spool printers and print jobs.

cancel

The cancel command cancels CA Spool print jobs, provided that the print jobs have not yet been selected for printing.

This section contains the following topics:

Lp—Print a file

lpstat—Show printer and print job status

Cancel—Cancel a print job
