SEASNET has two types of printers available: dot-matrix, which are free, and laser printers, which cost real money. Go to the SEASNET office (BH 2567) to get more information on laser printing. For this class, dot-matrix output (as long as it's readable) will suffice. To print a file out to a printer, first identify the name of the printer you wish to print to. The name of the printer is usually located next to the printer itself. (there's a dot matrix printer in BH 4442 and two printers in BH 2567) From your SEASNET account, use the "lpr" command to send your file to the printer lpr -P where is the name of the file you wish to print and is the name of the printer you wish to use. Other useful printing commands are as follows: 1. lpq -P ==> this command will display the order of print jobs currently being processed by . User names, files, and job numbers are associated with each task. 2. lprm -P ==> this command will remove your print job/request from the printer. This is useful if the printer is off-line or if you don't feel like waiting for all the other earlier jobs to finish. There are also a few PC's that have IBM printers directly connected to them. You can use these printers as follows: 1. Mount your account onto the SEASNET hard drive. See "/u/ee/class/ee5c/cbin/mount" for more information on this. 2. The command print will print to the local IBM printer. You can also send jobs to the UNIX printers instead using the following command: on - lpr -P Questions on any of the above? Contact the TA.
