-- printer name to be used from a Physics Linux workstation
Please be courteous: Save paper and print double-sided whenever possible.
Note for Department Linux Machines:
- User can't change the default setting.
- The UNIX/Liunx command to check printer status is
lpq -a
or
lpq -P printer_name
or
lpstat -o
- To print files,
lpr -P printer_name files
- To cancel job,
lprm -Pprinter_name job_code
the job_code is in the status list.
Please note some printers are by default set to print in duplex. You can overide this by using the printing dialog box within the application. If you are using lpr to print, then use the following to overide:
lpr -o sides=one-sided -Php4700dn-1 filename
or
lpr -o sides=two-sided-long-edge -Php4700dn-1 filename
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have trouble installing these printers or if you want to change the default printer on your Department Linux Machine,
please contact Physics Department System Administrator.
For other printing issues, please see Printing FAQs.
If you use some printer frequently, you can
set an alias for the print command.
