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. But the drivers package replaces the

standard lpr tool by a much more user-friendly LPR GUI program.
To print any document file:
1. Type lpr <file_name> from the Linux shell command line and press

Enter. 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.
