Printing
There are two printers located in the CSPP lab on the 4th floor of Ryerson. Their names are ry402 and ry402-2. To print a simple text file named file.txt from the Linux command line, use lpr -Pry402 file.txtText and Postscript files can be printed from the command line. Other file types must be printed from various applications (which generally translate the file into postscript, then use the lpr command):
| File Type | Application | Print Command |
| text file | command line | lpr -Pry402 file.txt |
| Web Page | netscape | lpr -Pry402 |
| pdf file | acroread | lpr -Pry402 |
| postscript file | command line | lpr -Pry402 file.ps |
You can see the queue of jobs currently waiting to be printed with the lpq -Pry402 command. To remove a job from the queue, use the lprm command.
