LINUX PRINTING
Printing from applications
There are a lot of Linux applications that allow you to print using Common
UNIX Printing System (CUPS). You can print on your machine from any
such application.
1. Open an application, and select Print from the File menu.
2. Select Print directly using lpr.
3. In the LPR GUI window, select the model name of your machine from
the printer list and click Properties.
4. Change the print job properties using the following four tabs displayed at
the top of the window.
• General: This option allows you to change the paper size, the paper
type, and the orientation of the documents. It enables the duplex
feature, adds start and end banners, and changes the number of
pages per sheet.
• Text: This option allows you to specify the page margins and set the
text options, such as spacing or columns.
• Graphics: This option allows you to set image options that are used
when printing images/files, such as color options, image size, or
image position.
• Advanced: This option allows you to set the print resolution, paper
source, and destination.
If an option is grayed out, it means that the grayed out option is not
supported.
5. Click Apply to apply the changes and close the Properties window.
6. Click OK in the LPR GUI window to start printing.
7. The Printing window appears, allowing you to monitor the status of your
print job.
To abort the current job, click Cancel.
Printing files
You can print many different types of files on your machine using the
standard CUPS way, directly from the command line interface. The CUPS
lpr utility allows you to do that. But the drivers package replaces the
standard lpr tool by a much more user-friendly LPR GUI program.
To print any document file:
1. Type lpr <file_name> from the Linux shell command line and press
Enter. The LPR GUI window appears.
When you type only lpr and press Enter, the Select file(s) to print
window appears first. Just select any files you want to print and click
Open.
2. In the LPR GUI window, select your machine from the list, and change
the print job properties.
3. Click OK to start printing.
