the printer list and click Properties.

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
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.
