source /usr/local/ucc/bin/printmathcfg

Add the line source /usr/local/ucc/bin/printmathcfg to the bottom of your shell configuration file ~/.cshrc to have ALL your output sent to the default printer (printer_1) in the math lab. This will alter the settings for the commands print and lpr; it also creates settings for print_1, print_2, lpr_2, and lpr_2. Since this alters definitions for print and lpr, do NOT use it if you frequently make use of other labs on campus. If you do use other labs on campus, then either comment out the above source line or use the lpr command which is below.

lpr -Pmathlab_laser_1 -h file

lpr -Pmathlab_laser_1 -h sends the specified file to printer_1 in the math lab. The -h option cause the banner page not to be printed.

lpr -Pmathlab_laser_2 -h file

lpr -Pmathlab_laser_2 -h sends the specified file to printer_2 in the math lab. The -h option cause the banner page not to be printed.

lpq -Pmathlab_laser_1

To check the status of your print job sent to printer_1 use the command lpq -Pmathlab_laser_1 .

lpq -Pmathlab_laser_2

To check the status of your print job sent to printer_2 use the command lpq -Pmathlab_laser_2 .
