I'm getting a strange behavior with the lp command on Mac OS Catalina. I have a 12-page PDF file and want to print all pages in the PDF. I'm hoping to print hundreds of PDFs using lp or lpr with a variable number of pages. The following only prints the first page: lp -d MY_PRINTER -o fit-to-page -o media=A4 myfile.PDF These commands also only print the first page: lp -d MY_PRINTER -o fit-to-page -o media=A4 myfile.PDF -o page-ranges=1-999999 lp -d MY_PRINTER -o fit-to-page -o media=A4 myfile.PDF -o page-ranges=1-12 But strangely, this command prints pages 3-12: lp -d MY_PRINTER -o fit-to-page -o media=A4 myfile.PDF -o page-ranges=3-999999 Does anyone know how to force lp (or lpr) to print all N pages of a PDF?
