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

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

For more information, see Printing from the command line.

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