Printing from a UNIX workstation to the printer

You don’t need any special software to use the printer. On most UNIX
systems, you use either the

lpr

or

lp

command to print documents over a

TCP/IP network to the printer. (The documents must be in PostScript
format.)

Example for

lpr

lpr -PKeithsLW file.ps

Example for

lp

lp -d KeithsLW file.ps

The way you print and choose printing options can differ from one
application program to another. To find out more about printing from your
application programs, read the documentation that came with the programs.
