Why each option
The `lpr` command is a legacy program provided by CUPS for submitting print jobs to printer queues from the command line.
`lpd` (Line Printer Daemon) is the server process that manages printing, not a command for sending print jobs.
`lpp` is not a standard or recognized command for sending files to printer queues in CUPS.
`lpq` is used to display the status of printer queues, not to send print jobs.
The `lpr` command is a standard Unix/Linux command, still provided by CUPS, for submitting files to a print spool for printing.
