Description

The lp command prints one or more files, or sends the files to an e-mail destination. The address of the printer is defined in CA LPD or CA Spool.

The files can be:

MVS data sets, such as partitioned data sets or sequential data sets
UNIX files, such as files in a DFSMS Hierarchical File System (HFS), a Network File System (NFS), and a temporary file system (TFS)

The lp command returns a CA LPD or CA Spool job id. The CA Spool job id‑file number can be used to query or cancel the job.
