I'm trying to print a bunch of files to PDF files.

An online tutorial suggested I run lpr *.pdf in the directory but that yields the error bash: lpr: command not found.

When I run yay -S lpr I get this message: 

==> Error: Could not find all required packages:
    lpr (Target)

If there's no lpr command for Arch, which package(s) do I need?

    Does this answer your question? [In Arch Linux how can I find out which package to install that will contain file X?](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/14858/in-arch-linux-how-can-i-find-out-which-package-to-install-that-will-contain-file) – user1794469 Feb 07 '20 at 16:11

On my system, the lpr command is installed as part of cups:

$ pacman -F /usr/bin/lpr
usr/bin/lpr is owned by extra/cups 2.3.1-1

This is the main printing package for Linux, so you probably want to install it anyway.
