Copies
The number of copies of a print job is specified using the
-n <value>
parameter with the
lp
command. The copy count is displayed on the
banner page. The default value is determined by the
lp
command and is
always 1. The copies are always collated.
Title
You can specify the title printed on the banner page using the
-t <title>
parameter with the
lp
command. The default value is
determined by the
lp
command and is usually the name of the print file.
If multiple files are printed using the same
lp
command the default title is
set to the name of the first file by the
lp
command.

the “%!” sequence. If it does, then it is assumed that it is
a PostScript file, otherwise it assumes that it is a plain
text or a PCL5e file.

PCL5e file.
