Printing files

You can print many different types of files on your machine using the standard CUPS, directly from the command line interface. The CUPS lpr utility allows you to do that, but the driver’s package replaces the standard lpr tool by a much more user-friendly LPR GUI program.

To print any document file:

1Enter 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.

2In the LPR GUI window, select your machine from the list, and change the print job properties.

3Click OK to start printing.
