Hi Monty,

You have several commands to print documents from a Linux PC.  An example is given below

lpr /etc/etc/passwd    (It will print /etc/passwd file from default Printer)

• lpq             – To see the queue 
• lprm 2       –  To remove a job from the printer which queue is number 2
• cancel 1   –   Aboard the job from the printer which queue is number 1
