What is the command line submission GUI, and how does it work?

The command line submission GUI is accessed by entering ibmlp instead of the lp command when you print from the command line. If you use ibmlp, the Print Queue Properties dialog box appears. From this dialog box, you can customize the print properties for this particular print job before the job prints.

Note:You can also use the ibmlp in applications such as Mozilla. Replace the existing lp command with the ibmlp command.
