Printing from UNIX

  There is a printer quota set for each user. Each user's quota is set according to the number of courses they are taking. You can check your quota with the quota command. You need to send email to system if you are having problems with your quota. Each user should not waste paper and should only print when necessary.

To access the printers in the EDLAB use:

lpr [options ..] [filespec..]

If no file names appear then the standard input is assumed. Normally the default printer is used, or the value of the environment variable PRINTER is used. It is possible to set the value of PRINTER, as one wishes with the setenv command (section on User Environment). However, the -P option may be used to force output to a specific printer. Other options are listed in the man page for lpr. Example:
lpr -Pelprt2 myfile.txt
