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:

1

Enter lpr 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.
