POLICY

Undergrads:
CS undergraduates receive a quota of 250 pages of laser printing.
HINTS
You can conserve printing resources by previewing material on the screen. To preview PostScript files use ghostview. When printing revisions, print only the revised pages. Use the line printer located in the Majors Lab hallway text files. DO NOT print more than one copy of a finished work. Take it to the copy center to have it duplicated.
PRINTING
lpr [-Pprinter] [-#copies] [-filter-option] [filename]
OPTIONS
-Pprinter
This option is used to direct output to a specific printer. If you fail to include this option on the command line, the environmental variable PRINTER is queried to see which printer should be used.
-#copies
This option is used to specify the number of copies to be printed. For example, -#4, will print four copies.
-filter-option
The following single letter options notify the laser- writer print spooler to use the appropriate filters.
-v standard raster file
-t file contains troff binary data
-f First character interpreted as Fortan RETURN
-d file contains teX data (DVI format from Stanford)
EXAMPLE A
To print two copies of the file HelloWorld.java on the printer called majors, use the following:lpr -Pmajors -#2 HelloWorld.java
EXAMPLE B
A DVI file (without embedded 1-inch by 1-inch offsets) may be printed using the commands: dvips filename.dvi -PprinterFor those users who refuse to remove the 1-inch by 1-inch offset from their TeX files, you may still print papers using either
(recommended way)
dvips -O -1in,-1in filename.dvi -Pprinter
or
lpr -d filename.dvi
PRINT QUEUE COMMANDS
lpq [-Pprinter]and
lprm [-Pprinter] [-jobID]

LPRM
This command will remove your job from the queue.
-Pprinter
This option is used to direct output to a printer, as above.
-jobID
The ID for your print job can be found by first running lpq and looking for the ID accompanying your username in the list.SEE ALSO
