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 image files, such as color options, image size, or image position.

•Advanced: This option allows you to set the print resolution, paper source, and destination.

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.

Using the Printer Properties window provided by the Printers configuration, you can change the various properties for your machine as a printer.

1.Open the Unified Driver Configurator.

If necessary, switch to Printers configuration.

2.Select your machine on the available printers list and click Properties.

3.The Printer Properties window opens.

The following five tabs display at the top of the window:

•General: This option allows you to change the printer location and name. The name entered in this tab displays on the printer list in Printers configuration.

•Connection: This option allows you to view or select another port. If you change the machine port from USB to parallel or vice versa while in use, you must re-configure the machine port in this tab.

•Driver: This option allows you to view or select another machine driver. By clicking Options, you can set the default device options.

•Jobs: This option shows the list of print jobs. Click Cancel job to cancel the selected job and select the Show completed jobs check box to see previous jobs on the job list.
