How to print in the Linux Lab

There are two printers available for Linux Lab in rooms 426 and 406. The printer called herring is located in room 426, the printer called trout is located in room 406. By default if you print from any machine in room 426, your printing job will be sent to the printer in room 426 ( herring ). If you print from any Linux machine room 406 your printing job will be sent to the printer in room 406 ( trout )

If you need to print out a text file myfile.txt open a shell window and type:

nenscript myfile.txt or

nenscript -P herring myfile.txt if you want to specify a printer name

If you need to print from emacs, click on

File -- Print Buffer

To print a PostScript File ( a file which has .ps at the end ) use lpr command, for example to print a file myfile.ps open a shell window and type:

lpr myfile.ps or

lpr -P herring myfile.ps ----if you want to specify a printer name.

IMPORTANT!

PLEASE, USE THESE PRINTERS ONLY FOR THE JOBS RELATED TO YOUR CLASSES.
