There are three printers for general department use -- printer number one is in room 736 SEO and number two is in room 308. A third printer called hpcolor is a color printer in 206. Please try to conserve paper and toner; do not print multiple copies of the same document, read your email before deciding whether or not to print it, preview documents using xdvi or ghostscript, use duplex-mode whenever possible, etc. Please do not use the printers for personal documents.
Paper is available from the Faculty Services office -- room 322. If the printer needs service other than adding paper, please contact Kevin (6-8610) or Dan (3-2174).
To print, first decide which printer you wish to use and whether you want your document to appear in simplex mode (single-sided) or duplex mode (double-sided, paper saving). If your document is in dvi format, you must use dvips to convert it to PostScript format and print.
Use the following command to print:
lpr -P<mode><printer #> <filename>
For example, the command to print a single-sided copy of the text document "mail1" on the third floor printer is:
lpr -Psimplex2 test.text
The command:
dvips paper.dvi
prints the document paper.dvi in double-sided mode on the seventh floor printer (or whatever printer is set as the default for your computer).
