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.

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.

The following five tabs display at the top of the window: • General: This option allows you to change the printer location and name.

If you change the machine port from USB to parallel or vice versa while in use, you must re-configure the machine port in this tab. • Driver: Allows you to view or select another printer driver. By clicking Options, you can set the default device options. • Jobs: This option shows the list of print jobs. Click Cancel job to cancel the selected job and select the Show completed jobs check box to see previous jobs on the job list. • Classes: This option shows the class that your machine is in. Click Add to Class to add your machine to a specific class or click Remove from Class to remove the machine from the selected class. 4.
