Printing a File with lp
If your system is appropriately congured, you can print a text le using the
lp ( l ine p rinter) command. Before using the lp command you may need to
nd out whether your system is set up so that you can use the lp command.
If it is not, basic installation information is in Chapter 5, in this man
ual. You
can nd detailed information on installing and conguring prin
ters in System
Administration Tasks .
If lp does work on your system, you may also need to nd out the lo cation of
the printer, on an extensive system. When you have this information, print
myfile by running the lp command:
$ lp myfile
If the lp command is working properly, it should display a message indicating
that it sentyour le to the printer. For example:
request id is lp- number (1 file)
The number is an i.d. numb er assigned to the print job by the lp command. If
you don't see this message, or if you get an error message, consult your system
administrator. If lp works successfully,you should get a printout with your
username displayed on the rst page. The time required for a printout depends
on the number of tasks b eing run by the system and the sp eed of the printer.
