8.1.3 Requesting Notification when Printing is Complete

When you submit a large file for printing, you may want the LP print service to notify you when printing is complete. You can request that the LP print service notify you in two ways:

• Send an email message

• Write a message to your console window

To request email notification, use the -m option when you submit the print request:

$ lp -m filename

To request a message be written to your console window, use the -w option when you submit the print request:

$ lp -w filename

where filename is the name of the file you're printing.
