If you're logged into a workstation at the console,
you can also use the xqpr command, a graphical interface to the qpr
command. All commands print to the default printer (defined in the
environment variable PRINTER) unless you specify otherwise. When you
log into the console of a workstation in a lab, PRINTER is usually
defined to be the queue for that lab.
The procedure for printing from an application varies.
-
If the print command for the application is set to use
xqpr instead of qpr, the xqpr
window will open for you to enter your print account data.

-
If xqpr isn't the default print command for
the application, invoke the application from the command-line
prompt without backgrounding the application. The qpr
software will prompt for your print account data in the Xterm
from which you invoked the application.
-
To print to a specific printer, either change your
environment variables, or print to a postscript file (.ps) and then
print to a specific queue from the command line. For example: qpr -q
cscsun filename.ps.
-
To print from an Xterm prompt without using xqpr, use the
qpr command.
