Tips for printing
Available printers
(Caution: The CS lab machines are in the process of being upgraded,
so this information is subject to change.)
- If you are logged into one of the machines named
janusXX or atlasXX
(where XX is two digits),
your default printer (the one to which output is sent
if you don't specify otherwise) is named
tabula and is located in HAS 340.
- If you are logged into one of the machines named
xenaXX
(where XX is two digits),
your default printer (the one to which output is sent
if you don't specify otherwise)
is the one to the left of the door
in HAS 226. Its name under Windows is
apparently LabPrinter A;
its name under Linux, on the xenaXX machines
anyway, is lp.
- You may also use the printers named rhea1 and
rhea2, which are located outside HAS201C.
Other tips, caveats, warnings, etc.
- Warning:
The enscript command does not work with printer
tabula. If you want to use this command,
your best bet at present is to print from one of the
xenaXX machines.
If you are using a different machine, you can use
the telnet command to connect to one of the
xenaXX machines and issue the enscript
command from there.
