It is sometimes very convenient to print files from the command line, especially when you want to print a lot of them.

You can print multiple pdf files, by running the command
  1. lp -d Your_Printer_name Filenames

Your_Printer_name is the one you defined on your system. Check with your CUPS configuration by visiting http://localhost:631/printers.

  1. lp -d KONICA-MINOLTAC280  *.pdf

Try with other file formats than pdf.

You can also call lp without specifying a printer name to use your default configured printer:
