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.
