    Your system manager can set up a local print queue to handle
    print jobs for files sent from a remote UNIX host. To print
    UNIX files on an OpenVMS printer, the UNIX user enters the
    lpr command. (For more information, see the appropriate UNIX
    documentation.)

    Local queues that are set up to receive UNIX print jobs support
    layup definition files. These are files are supported only
    on OpenVMS and are used to set the following layup features:
    borders, sheet margins, alternating sheet margins, pages per
    sheet, first page, page order, and page grid.

    The following example sends UNIX file /usr/stanton/recent.cnts
    to OpenVMS print queue REMOTE_QUEUE4 and specifies the formatting
    defined in the layup file called layup3. The REMOTE_QUEUE4 print
    queue is set up as a remote queue in the printcap file by the
    system manager.

    % lpr -Llayup3 -Premote_queue4 /usr/stanton/recent.cnts
