| -P printer |
| | Accounting is done for the named printer. Normally, accounting is done for the default printer (site dependent) or the value of the environment variable PRINTER is used. |
| -c | Cause the output to be sorted by cost; usually the output is sorted alphabetically by name. |
| -m | Cause the host name to be ignored in the accounting file. This allows for a user on multiple machines to have all of his printing charges grouped together. |
| -p price | The value price is used for the cost in dollars instead of the default value of 0.02 or the price specified in /etc/printcap. |
| -r | Reverse the sorting order. |
| -s | Accounting information is summarized on the summary accounting file; this summarization is necessary since on a busy system, the accounting file can grow by several lines per day. |
