Help: Network Printing

Printing:

dogps is the default DogNET printer. If you type:

      $ lpr <filename>

The document will be printed out on the printer on C012.

To print files on a different printer (see list below), type:

      $ lpr -P<printer> <filename>

Canceling a print job:

1. First list the pending jobs, type lpq -P<printer>. The output should look similar:

   merantn@fang:~>lpq -Pc012
   c012lpr is ready and printing
   Rank   Owner      Job  Files                                 Total Size
   1st    merantn    524  /etc/printcap                         1429 bytes
   2nd    merantn    525  /etc/printcap                         1429 bytes
   3rd    merantn    526  /etc/printcap                         1429 bytes
   

2. Find the job number to cancel, within the Job column.
3. Type lprm -P<printer> <job>

Examples:

To print the file testpage on the C122 laser:

      $ lpr -Pc122lpr testpage

To cancel job number 525 on C012lpr:

      $ lprm -Pc012lpr 525
