How do I print my C program from LINUX?
To print the text file: "RecFunc.cpp" to the big printer by the whiteboard in Olsen 308
lpr -Plaser2 RecFunc.cpp
To print the text file: "README" to the printer in OS310
lpr -Pos310 README
To print the text file: "homework.txt" to the printer in OS314
lpr -Pos314 homework.txt
Note: to print a text file from Saturn or another tru64 machine use a '-text' printer or you'll get garbage output.
How do I print a postscript file?
To print the postscript file "job.ps" to the large printer in OS308 (the linux lab):
lpr -Plaser-2 job.ps
How do I print from Open Office or Mozilla or... on LINUX
On a public Linux or Microsoft Windows computer, choose print from the file menu and your print job should come out in the printer in the room with you.
If you want to pick a printer, put the print command in the Print command property.
In UNIX, How do I stop printing this 500 page document?
If you have only one job
lprm
If you have many jobs
lprm -Uyourusernamehere
If you have another scenario
man lprm
Which printers are available?
Generally, unless you have the key to the room the printer is in, you are limited to these printers.
os308(Olsen 308)os310(Olsen 310)os314(Olsen 314)
How can I see when my job will actually print?
lpq-Pl <name of printer>
For example:
lpq - Pos308
No. For every tree you save by re-using paper you will kill 10 more in paper jams. If the printer needs paper, go next door and ask for it. If OS12A is closed and you have to print something, print to another printer.
What should I do about the jammed printer?
Let the administrators in OS312 know there is a problem. Please do not try to unjam the printer yourself.
Where do I get more paper?
Ask the person sitting behind the desk in OS308 (the linux lab), ask the administrators in OS312, or send email to admin@cs.uml.edu.
