The option can be in the non-native or native format. Native format means
keyword:option

while non-native means keywordoption. Some options can be

specified as just option, for example, A4 or duplex.

Methods of Printing

Through rcutil

• Run rcutil
• Make changes in the settings in the GUI

• Save settings (.f533rc will be updated in the user’s home directory).

• Exit rcutil
• Use lp command to send the job:

o

lp –d printqueue filename.prn

Through the command line

• Pass the options through the lp command:

o

lp –d printqueue –o keyword1:option –o keyword2:option
filename.prn

keyword:option

is any pairing of a feature and one of its

corresponding options. Example: Punch:Left or PageSize:A4

NOTE:

• The actual output using this method may be affected by any settings saved in

the settings file (.f533rc).

Printing from Unix applications

Printing is possible directly from Unix/Linux applications. This section discusses
printing from Netscape Navigator and Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Once the printer driver has been installed, print jobs can be sent to the print queue
directly from Unix applications, or from command line. If the application being used
has a print dialog, specify the lp command in the Print Command field and use the
print queue to send the job to.

If the application has the capability to print to file, print the document to file and
send the output file through lp command to the print queue.

These are better illustrated in the next sub-sections.
