How do I print from a CAEN computer?
Windows:
To print from Windows in CAEN computer labs:
- Open the program you would like to print from, and select File >> Print (or press Ctrl-P). This will open the print dialog window.
- In the print dialog, if it is not already set as the default, select the printer that corresponds to your CAEN computer lab. Each lab has the printer spool name listed on the printer.
- Click OK once you are ready to print.
To see the queue for the printer, simply go to the Start menu >> Settings >> Printers, and select the printer that your printed to by double-clicking on its icon.
Linux:
Type the following command at the prompt:
lpr -Pspoolname filename
where spoolname is the name listed by the printers. You may also use the enscript command, which offers many options well suited for printing program code. To explore these options, type man enscript at the prompt. One popular command is:
enscript -2rG -Pprintername filename
which prints two pages on each side of the page, in landscape format, and includes the filename, date and time at the top of each page.
If you have a problem with one of the printers, Contact CAEN to report your problem.
